Where have all the Sherpas gone

Welcome along, Cros, fair bit of Sherpa love on here I think.

 

Is that an 'O' Series engine in it and if so was it the same as the Ital and the Ambastardor? You may (hopefully) have more chance of finding one of those for spares.

Bit boring really as a suggestion but a B series ? ,,iirc its only the block back plate that would need redrilled to swap over and some basic engine mount work (Sherpa sourced one excepted of course)

 

or an mgb engine and overdrive gearbox for cruising ,,,evidently doesn't fit the no messing about critieria ,,and I guess my former suggestion also doesn't either come to think of it

you've more chance finding a B series petrol than another O I reckon, thanks to the ubiquity of the MGB. If it's just a case of getting it back on the road, the easiest thing would be to find a cheap running LDV Pilot and transfer the engine and box over.

 

Still, it would be good if you could find an Sd1 2000 engine, those are on twin carbs and make about 100bhp.
