Lloyd microcar engine - USA

[AndrewG]

I saw this on an email list and thought I would copy it here - any interest Jim?

Here is the wording of the ad:

Free to any home: one engine from a Lloyd microcar, circa 1950-60.
Don't know if it runs, and frankly I don't care. This is just a quick
posting to save the little guy from the scrap heap if someone out
there wants it. I don't know any more than what I've said here, so
please no questions about whether you can hook this thing up to your
go cart in an effort to end up on some America's funniest home videos.
Only respond if you are 100% sure you want this thing and can pick it
up asap

uh no.
I have no Lloyd to put it into plus it is 2000 miles away.....
may as well be across the ocean for me.

    When I first saw this I thought of Milwaukee Wisconsin, not Milwaukie Oregon.  Shame though, never have enough parts.  Ian.

Jim, I was thinking you would be the person to publicise this in the US, rather than buy it - even from 5000 miles away, it seems a shame to see it scrapped.

I don't have to publicize it, a local microcar guy who needs it has already contacted the person.
