Hi Mike
Welcome & many joys with your new toy. shall have to add you to my buddy list, we are the only Libra Cob owners at this club. :thumb:

No doubt your engine came from the Mk IV Cortina.
I am told by all the experts who look undernearth mine that its Granada based. The engine also matches Essex V6 2997cc

Can you post some pics.
Interesting to learn that Libra used both Cortina & Granada as donors.
or maybe you have Cortina engine only, the rest is Granada.
cheers Alan
