Many thanks to all for the prompt replies.
With regard to your post Mike, does an engine upgrade (esp. all the way to 160) introduce NVH or longevity issues, especially as we are talking auto's here.

Also I've read that the cars can lose their celebrated ride comfort due to tired suspension, at what sort of mileage (average) is this likely to become an issue for a perspective purchaser ?
