Hi all, thanks for the pointers. I have been watching on Ebay for a year now, and few come up. Am I missing something though? Most want serious money, I could buy a Rover V8 for less, albeit a tired one, but I don't want a V8! Even a K4 seems more realistically priced, maybe because there are more of them! I was told by one scrapyard that a 75 2.5V6 with snapped cambelt could be mine for £100 without or £250 with all ancillary items!
Is it because people keep buying them for the inlet plenums to sort their VIS issues, in which case, please let me have the engine as I woul dfit throttle bodies anyway.
Mind you, my other gripe with Ebay dealers is that they insist on calling the basic Zed seats leather or describing them as Recaros! They are definitely not and are vinyl, not leather. I bought some ZR seats and fitted them to my BGT, but I had to hunt for ages to get some at a reasonable price.
