Hi Jay,
Good to know you have some spare engine heads. Frankly, I thought you had sold all your excess cars and parts to a garage in Holland (Jan Sleutel?) a couple of years ago. I asked for help on the AlfaBB a while ago, but either prices were absurd, the head was in bad shape or I was just too late wrt heads offered at the time. In the end I had the original head repaired. I hope it holds. If not, I will contact you. Maybe you still have the original head that belongs to my engine? My car has a head without any firing script on it, so I assume it is from a 1900 originally? Or is it possible that the first heads did not have the script?
Yes, you are right. The engine number mentioned on the Bonhams site is incorrect. It has engine number AR00204.00026, which is the original engine according to the AR Automobillisimo Storico.
Gr., Pieter
PS if you still have any paperwork that belongs to my car.....or maybe the pouch with booklet, card and the likes.....I would be very much interested to complete the paperwork belonging to the car.
