I believe the 3 litre had a 7 bearing crank, the Westminster 5. I did test drive one back in the day, but it did not shift like the Westie. Sadly less than 10,000 were sold, and very few survive. I like their looks, but prefer the Farinas.

Somebody's got a bargain. Original Crown wheels and Atlantic Blue ... are very evocative of the era.

That engine certainly needed some TLC.
The owner thought--shine the outside and ignore the bit under the bonnet.--- |

Some people don't worry about the aesthetics of an engine, just that it's performing well. Although l agree that a clean engine indicates a conscientious owner at point of sale.

You could rub your hand against my engine and you'd hardly know you'd done it. And I've never cleaned it. Looks like that guy used to drive around a quarry or perhaps worked there.-- |
