Wanted to Buy
8th April 2008
Volvo AQ200 B30 Straight Six Engine

I'm looking for a complete or parts of (especially the triple sidedraught Solex carbs and manifolds) Volvo AQ200 B30 straight six engine.

They started out in powerboat racing with sterndrives but a few ended up in jetboats in the 80s.
Some names associated with the engines are Ron Archer(Headhunter), Kevin Sexton, Barry Ford(Sidewinder), Harvey Read (Jet 32), Bernard Lewis (Jet).

I heard there was a couple of sets of carbs and manifolds around Taupo ex Miss Bernina.
These motors would be getting a but long in the tooth now but I'm keen to save any bits.
Any leads, help or info would be appreciated, its a bit of a long shot they survived but you never know.
Thanks.
