356 forum posts 25 photos	In 2008 Anthony Mount started his build of this engine. The casting kit was from Cotswold Heritage ltd, who now seem to have vanished. Last accounts filed were for 2015. Does anybody know if the castings are being provided by any other company. While some parts can be fabricated, the mainframes look decidedly difficult.

193 forum posts	Hi Zan Not sure of their current status but they were operating in October 2017 when I made my last kit purchase - Sir William - which was subsequently received with no issues. I did do a quick search when I saw your post and the only direct reference I found was an undated note to say they were updatng their website. Perhaps an email or phone call might help to clarify matters. The last contact details I have available are : [email protected] Sorry, I don't have a phone number but I am sure someone on here will be able to help. Best of luck Pero
