The next owner will be a lucky person for sure!

Out of curiosity, to eliminate the 'almost', what changes would you make to the drivetrain?

Doh... Misunderstanding on my part as I thought the car had been 'acquired' by KK... Blame it on age, drugs and an impending trip away! :oops:

Thanks for the compliments Darren.

If I was keeping the car, I'd probably source/build a slightly uprated (912) engine - I think something producing around 100-110 bhp would be enough ...
