No Problem Norm
If I ever see some evidence that a 289 engine was originally installed into
a Mk I body - I will report it to you and the List.

Hi Ron:
Interesting. I had a conversation with Norm just recently and he said just
the opposite, that there were a few cars that were built by Jensen at the
end of the MkIA run with all of the changes that were incorporated on the
MkII's just to make sure it would all go together. Those cars carried the
MkIA badging. I made a mistake in my description in my previous email about
the specific changes. I referred to a Watts linkage rear setup. That was
incorrect. I meant to say Panhard rod, as that was the change incorporated
into the MkII's, as you know.
I suggested to Norm that it would be a good idea for him to publish what he
knows about the MkII changeover process, but have not heard anything back
from him. As you may know, as the editor of Rootes Review, I ran an ad for
the MkII prototype, B382100002 LRXFE in the June issue past. When I got the
info about the car and the request to run the ad, I was somewhat skeptical
since a lot of the MkII trim was missing, so I contacted Norm. It was the
result of our resultant conversation that he mentioned the MkIA's with the
289s. I was surprised when he mentioned them because, like you, I had always
believed it to be a myth. However, the oracle has spoken. If Norm is reading
this, I would urge him to weigh in to settle this.
Cheers,
Tod
