BREXIT - We are still delivering everywhere!
As of 1st January 2021 the UK is no longer part of the European Union but we are successfully delivering parcels every day to customers all over the world as we always have. We have worked hard to ensure that we have a robust supply chain in place to enable us to continue supplying our customers with minimal disruption however there are inevitable essential changes for those within the EU:
Our Express and Economy Select shipping charges have been increased to reflect the £4.50 Brexit surcharge imposed by our carriers related to the additional customs administration. Globalmail prices for small, lower value items remain unchanged. Please see the shipping page for details.
We will not charge VAT on any orders shipping internationally. Our delivery agents will calculate customs and duty charges due when the goods cross the border into the delivery country and contact customers to arrange necessary payment. Please note this is a new process for EU deliveries but has always been the case for international customers - it is very simple and we provide all the customs clearance information required.

COVID-19 Situation Update January 2021
OPEN FOR MAIL ORDER: We would like to inform all our customers that we are able to provide our full range of products and services. We have made some adjustments to how we work - noting current Government advice - and as a result we remain able and committed to meeting your requirements with our usual high level of service.
Sales Counter: Our sales counter is unfortunately closed at the moment and considering the terms of this lockdown, we have decided not to offer a 'click and collect' service.

The BMC 1.5 litre diesel engine is based on the 1.5 litre (1,489 cc) B-Series four-cylinder petrol engine. It was used in the Austin A60 and proved a popular base engine for marinising and for generator set applications. Marinised versions include the Thornycroft 90 and 90/2 engines, the Tempest Newage Captain and the Westerbeke Four-90 & W30. The marinised engines are extensively used in narrow boats. Classic Engine Parts has remanufactured a number of major parts for these engines and offers virtually all categories of spares to assist with their maintenance and rebuild.

Through the course of the engine’s history, three camshafts, two oil pumps and three water pumps were used - the most common variants are included in the parts list below:

Reliant started production with JAP engines in 1935, later using the Austin 7 engine for a year before introducing a 747cc side valve engine based on the Austin engine. In 1962 Reliant introduced their 600cc OHV engine, which became the 700 cc in 1968, 750cc in 1972 and 850cc in 1975 – continuing in production until 2002. Classic Engine Parts offer a comprehensive range of engine parts for the popular 750 and 850 cc OHV engines, with good coverage for the 600 and 700cc OHV variants as well.
