Just received my copy

Mine arrived today.  Mabel looks good and with the ioe 4 cylinder engine, unfortunately not the original one.

Nice story of a Station Wagon rescue. And although the article sub-headline says "Everyone loves a barn-find tale" it had actually been left outside in the Scottish weather for ten years and the chassis & bulkhead were rotten but everything else was as it should be and in "surprisingly good condition".

It gives the impression that Mable would have had a IOE engine, which I found strange for an Aug 58 (and therefore 59 MY) given that my Number 6 has it's original engine but a 151 variety

Were the 88s different to the 109s ?

Yes,  my June/July built August registered 88 should have an IOE  engine a d I am in the process of building one.  It needs to be done for next year for the 65th anniversary of the S2 celebrations

but yours is a 58 MY, unless Mabel was held back, Chassis number would reveal

The IOE surplus were only fitted to 88s the 109s had the OHV 2.25 fitted from the start of S2 production
