Description:

Very low time on original build Hart 416B. Only two owners, the first of whom never ran it. The second has put about 100 miles on it and has replaced all seals and gaskets.


History

The previous owner had bought the engine directly from Brian Hart and imported it into Canada with the intention of installing it into an Elan. He never completed the project and when I bought the engine from him in 1983, it was brand new, never been run and still in its original crate from Hart.Engine
