costs about £15K and needs a rebuild every 3K miles...not really suitable for road use I reckon !...Honda lump is a better option me thinks

[cuzza]

Is it the same engine then???

[bogie]

yup - PTP have developed it and supply it to MG - i saw it at the PTP open day...looks good...but really a race engine - you could buy a nice Elise for the price of that engine !
