<< Because it is a wet liner engine, everyone on the list knows well the
ease
 with which the TR2-4 engine can be rebuilt.  Just pop out the sleeves and
 press new ones in place.  My question is, what other cars used a wet liner
 design?  It is well known in the TR2-4 world but it wasn't even widely
used
 by Triumph--Spitfires and GT6s don't have wet sleeve engines.  Just
curious.

In Andy Lindberg's recent article in the "Vintage Triumph"  he stated that 
the wet liner was a French invention and, indeed, the Renault Dauphine
used wet liners until it went out of production in the early to mid 60's.
(Any body interested in a Renault Dauphine?)
