That engine I would love to see still operating. The 1300 boxer was said to be the most fuel efficient of all combustion engines at that time. 
 

It was a workhorse type engine like the 1600 and the EJ22 but they bored it out and made the walls too thin as a 1400 and way more head issues occurred. Wet liner engines , not the easiest to maintain. It would be interesting to see some young person step forward and learn these engines. Given a choice the 1300 is best of the 1000(non USA) 1100 1300 and 1400 wet sleeve engines.

Very very few folks are still pushing their 1300 around. And I can only think of one in the USA. A few 1400’s for sure. 
 

Hoping it lives. Good luck !
