Default used power trains from Europe.

I have noticed at least one source of Japanese engine-tranny
combinations pulled from Japanese vehicles and sold in the USA.
Apparently as the vehicle gets older in Japan it becomes prohibitively
expensive to insure so owners scrap them. Same thing happens with any
indications of body rust...

Does anyone know if a similar source for VW power trains in the UK or
Europe? Most that I see here in North America (aka canada and the USA)
are pulled/rebuilt from vehicles sold in Canada and the USA. I do note
firms in the UK that have all sorts of spares for the land Rovers
(Yippee!) Now to just arrange transportation :-)

TIA

Ken

If you don't have access to British Volkswagen enthusiast print magazines,
try the owners' clubs:
