I may have the opportunity to purchase a TVR with the UK produced Ford Essex V-6 engine. In doing a bit of research I have found that, apparently this particular engine was never used in any mass-produced car imported into the US. The mid-'70's Capris used the German made Cologne V-6, and the Canadian produced Ford Essex engine is quite different from the UK manufactured one.
Because of this, is it going to be a major hassle just getting simple things like distributor caps, water pumps, starters etc., etc. for an engine that was never imported in mass to this country?
Would love to hear from anyone with a TVR with one of these engines.
