I need a 'K' series engine. Been told I should be able to get a decent 1600 one for around a 100 notes and have seen a couple 'up country' for this amount.

Having trouble sourcing one locally though.

Any ideas?

I either want a 1600 or 1800. I will need ancilleries with the 1800.

There's a chap called Rob Walker who runs the Bristol and Bath Lotus 7 Club meets and rebuilds and upgrades k-series engines. Have a look here: www.blatchat.com/f.asp?id=1&p=2 for the thread on "Bristol and Bath Meet" - you should be able to click on Rob's profile and email him.

I sold my old K-Series to him.

I do know for some, they are all ex MG Racing units, so not going to be £100.00 range All believed good.

I've been offered low mileage 1800 VVC's (160bhp) with everything for £600.

I need something much cheaper though.

I have emailed Rob - thanks for that.

Can you give some more details on these please Dave? I want/need more poke in the Elise and could be interested if they're suitable.

Cheers.
