Admiral won't accept it on a multi-car ..... Otherwise we'd be talking.
Never mind the insurance! Trailer it to track!!!
IF I had the spare cash (which I don't sadly) I'd be considering popping it in my MK2 if it could give me 250BHP!

Nowhere to keep it so it'd have to be taxed, tested and insured....
£600 for it .....
You'd get about £350 for the v6 out of your other car and then £100 to weigh it in for scrap. £50 for the wheels and you'd have the conversion almost for nowt.

Sky Insurance are the ones to talk to buddy if you are serious about driving the car on the road.

I'll try them Jim - the issue is though that with a multi car on Admiral they'll give me 15 yrs no claims on the 2nd car too ..... I'll try them mate - but doubt they'd be competitive.
Does the log book show it as having had a new engine ?

Ah but then I have to figure in the conversion costs too! Plus I'd need to use the track car while it was off getting it done. Then there is the extra costs for parts that are still needed to convert!

I will have to check but since it was a 2 litre non turbo to start with I doubt it would have changed on the logbook. I would imagine the engine serial number will need changing but that can be done when the new owner fills in their details.

Adrian flux will mirror your no claims and possibly put some "good driver" discount on as well... oh then they also knocked a bit off for being a member of this club for me :) (got the F below £200 a year fully comp and the 180 (with all mods declared) below £400 a year fully comp - I'm 29 btw...)

How easy is it to put a ZS seat in?
How does it drive Jim? Does it handle like a ZS?
What power is it putting out?

I was told I need a Rover 400 seat and change the cushions and covers over for ZS items. It drove really nicely and Ralph used to drive it to tracks do a track day and drive it home with no problems. Better than a standard ZS on and off track I would say if you like a firm precise drive.

I think someone said 230bhp or around that.
I have a £550 Boardman mountain bike :D :D

im surprised this hasnt gone yet. bit of a bargain.
i remember seeing a thread on it a few years back when the previous guy had it. looks well put together too.
Between this and Alan's car, wish I could justify spending the cash! Bargain.
Is this still for sale? Anyone up for joint ownership or group buy or something? Have the cash but no space to keep it....

steves looking for 250 delivered,for the coilovers,ave just text him,unsure about age/condition,am sure he will confirm this if anybodys interested
It was a shame. Managed to persuade other half that I could buy it back (subject to a sensible insurance quote), but was too late :(
Coilovers are quite old, but still worked well - they were previously on another r400 turbo (I swapped a ZS 180 bodyshell for them, which is now a high powered turbo car (can you guess which car it is?)).
