    Did anyone here, living in Bahrain, recently purchase a 355 Engine and Gearbox from Oman?

    Just curious, because it 'was' mine... but somehow got sold off...

    No issues, no problems, just curious.

    But, someone got a heck of a good deal. There was less than 7,000 km on both.

    No, I bought an 'extra' engine and gear box combination, and apparently the guy sold it twice...

    No big deal... just thought I would ask. I found out it had been sold, again, to a Brit in Bahrain.

    Not enough money to worry about.

    What did you pay for it?
    Low mile 355 engine and gearbox can't be cheap..?

    I paid $5,000.

    Sent a man to Oman to pick it up, and apparently someone else, a Brit from Bahrain, bought it as well... and took it with him.

    I'll, eventually, get my money back... in fact, he has a 1991 Testarossa with an engine issue that I may be able to get in exchange for the money.

    Like I said, absolutely NO issues... no problem, and I hope whomever got the engine and gearbox are happy with them. I can verify that they were extremely low mileage, as mentioned earlier.
