engines are pretty rare- so there's one sitting on it's sump, together with box and clutch round the back of my local paint sprayers. Is it for sale? I don't know, Is it knackered? I don't know - but if anyone wants me to ask the question I will.

I had a twin plenum SD1 Vitesse cloud9 what a motor.

Many of the engine and electrical parts were "special" and thus only made in the + 10% quota above production. It took 6 weeks or so to get the correct distributor and that was when the car was only 4 or 5 years old, so tread with a little caution would be my advice, but a great variant of the mighty RV8 all the same yes

Bloke wants the engine but hes going to put carbs on it so I should be able to get all the inlet doings. In order not to break PH rules if I succeed it'll have to go on Ebay
