S2 2.9 engine?

[Fez887]

One question - was this a ford colonge engine or an Essex?

Ok so this is all as I understood it, but attended a local car show today and some chap asked what the engine was in my S2 to which my reply was 2.9i V6 cologne, and to which his reply was "don't be silly it's quite clear from the manifold setup that this is an Essex!". He also quite pointedly told me that if it was a Cologne then it must have been retro fitted!

As a new comer to TVR I am always ready to stand corrected but was fairly convinced my info was correct. Thanks for the clarity.

Lol......indeed Wotno, there is a fair chance he was deluded, but I can hand on heart say, there was also a large portion of armpit!!

Oh to go back in time and have this knowledge!

No backpack, but a full family audience in tow to ensure I was well and truly told what’s what.
