Ranked: the longest-living car engines (msn.com)

Interesting article - ending with the VW T1 engine (which they erroneously say was used in the 411/412 - when we all know that was a T4 engine).

Slide 32 of 33: The Type 1 was the air-cooled flat-four cylinder engine designed for the original Volkswagen [nicknamed the Beetle though it was never officially called that) and used for many years in other small VWs.It first appeared in 1938 as 985cc (with output of 24 hp) and did not stop being built until Mexican production of the Beetle ended in 2003.PICTURE: 1303 GSR engine.

Interesting that the Buick aluminum 215 ci V8 was sold to British Leland since it was not reliable and the British made it reliable!

I always thought the Jaguar straight 6 would make a great man cave coffee table with a glass top! One of the prettiest engines out there.

@WOLFGANG : I couldn’t agree more about having a Jaguar motor as a glass top table base. It would be even more spectacular if it were illuminated from within. Although…I wouldn’t trust the electrical addition to work, what with it being British and all.
