Hi. I think I’ve just bought an engineless Favorit with a fitted Felicia gearbox.

 

I’m  not looking to be clever with the ‘ engineering’- more I want something I can sling straight in & go! 
 

I’m told the ecu wiring has gone, with most of the sundries so an early carbureted motor, known to be good, is needed.

 

I don’t want to rebuild a sick engine- I just want to get the car mobile ASAP!

 

Anyone got such a lump, available for sale? 
 

Will travel for the best option.

 

Thank you

You should mention from which country are you so you can find members close by.

Apologies. U.K., south coast. Ta

Have you placed an 'ad' in the Wanted section of the site and looked in the 'For Sale' section here and other places (Gumtree(?), Facebook (? if you dare or can stand the place), eBay), I can't think of others, general classic car sites, mags, papers (Classic Car Weekly).

 

Scrap yards(?), particularly out IIRC Norfolk way as the importers were there. 

 

I saw IIRC  Skoda Owners' Club Gb at the NEC Classic Motor Show, I'd have thought that might be a good resource (if you're not already in the club or tried there).

 

Would another VW engine be a straight fit to the Felicia gearbox.

 

ETA: classic car clubs or gatherings as youngsters prefer the more affordable classic cars.

 

That's me out of ideas.

Thanks, I’ve done a lot of that.

 

i ‘may’ have an engine available late March, but I’d prefer to get this sorted before then. I’ll keep hunting. Thanks
