Dear All,
I am working on a restoration project that drives me crazy. On the tag on the engine it mentions that the engine is a Couach L12 and that�s it. Going true the internet it might be an Renault Couach, but no matter how I look, I can�t find any details about this type of engine. For your reference I have placed a little movie on youtube so you can see how lovely this engine is. Is there anyone who can determine what I have and where I can find a workshop manual?

My sincere thanks in advance

Dear searcher i will post some more pictures tomorrow. I have seen a number on the block not sure if it's the date or just the mould number. Keep you posted. |

Dear All,
First thank you for your reactions. It�s nice to see that there are equal minded people, who like to preserve old craftsmanship. In my quest to find out what kind of machine I/we have, I have gone to the workshop again and made some pictures of the tag. As you can see I/we own a Couach CL-2. I am going to give my friend some glasses for Christmas this year;-)
Having said so and looking true the internet, I have found some pictures of a similar engine, that was sold on a Dutch website several years ago. Also found an ad, on the French ebay, which sold a work manual of the CL-2, arch�. Also this was an old advertisement.
So my hope is now again with this forum that someone could provide me with leads to get the workshop manual.
Also I have added a picture of a number that I found on the engine block. Could that mean that this could be the production date? Number shown is 9-5-62
