M'coli Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 That looks like a BMC engine in that Atlas. Did they get a different engine after Leyland bought out Standard Triumph? I always though they had the 948cc Triumph motor in them. Either way it must be agonisingly slow.Might be a B series diesel. Sure I read recently the Atlas vans got them as the diesel option.Edt: Scratch that - I think I can see plug leads.Could it be a Ferguson tractor/TR3 engine?

FredTransit Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Would it have killed em to stick that bit of trim back on? I remember this van, didn't know it was till around, let alone up for sale..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ALFA-ROMEO-33-GIARDINETTA-4X4-ESTATE-1985-RED-C700-BTT_W0QQitemZ230341939483 This is giving me terrible trouser problems, I would LOVE IT! But I have absolutley NOWHERE to keep it. The only way to accomodate it would be if I scrapped my Talbot Alpine, which would be a bit tragic as i've had it nealry 10 years, only done about 35k as well. what a nightmare, I hope bidding goes higher on it and puts it out of my (admittedly low) reach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Apart from being a bit dusty-looking, what's actually wrong with that Alpine of yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethj Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Deffo rather have this over a beetle any day of the week.until you need to change the spark plugs that is!!! are these not the ones where removal of head is required to change a spark plug?Nope, plugs on the T4 engine are a doddle to change because they stick upwards rather than outwards on a Beetle engine. I had a 412LE years ago and it was alright. Somewhere in the shed I've got the diagnostic equipment for the Bosch D-Jetronic injection system, also used on late '60s Volvos and early Jag V12s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Apart from being a bit dusty-looking, what's actually wrong with that Alpine of yours?inner rear wings need welding, brakes need looking at after a 6-year lay up, and general cosmetic titivation required - dent in front wing and doorskin amongst other bits. Oh and the 'Stomils' need new treads drawn on em in marker pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 To be honest I reckon you should keep the Alpine. The Alfa sounds like it needs a fair bit of work, has been tinkered with already and will look crud unless it gets a full respray. Like it says in the auction, there's about 6 left - I'd wait for one of the others to turn up instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
