Leif in Calif Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 These are quite small but nicely made. They have a big following in Europe. https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/d/austin-1929-french-amilcar/7471576053.html EMAIL: 348a3bf8c43b3c6d905af277f7aa156d@sale.craigslist.org This car retains most of its original components.However, the original 1929 M type engine was upgraded to a 1930’s type M3 engine giving it better performance.The engine swap was done sometime in the 1950’s according to oral history.The engine is a 1,244cc inline-four rated at 27 HP paired with a three speed manual transmission.Current top speed is around 55 MPH.The body has no rust and paint shows nicely.Undercarriage and engine compartment are clean and presentable.The interior, dash, chrome, glass, tires, etc are in nice shape.All gauges work except the clock.Headlights brake lights, blinkers and dash light works.A water pump and electric fan has been added at some point for efficient cooling.Blinkers have been added.The car runs, drives shifts and brakes well.Starts immediately with the touch of the start button.It has a brand new starter that has been manufactured specifically for this engine.Original starter is included with sale.Convertible top, frame and side curtains are in presentable condition and are included.The seats have been replaced with black bucket seats, but the (2) original tan leather bench seats come with car.This car is in remarkable condition but does need attention which I am not able to provide.- Currently, the transmission is leaking gear oil out of the rear bearing.- A new replacement bearing will be ordered.- There is currently a coolant leak. (Not from original radiator)- Engine would benefit from a rebuild 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
