Had to put this on keep looking at it finding it amusing. How fun changing front to back brake pipes.

Ooh, that's my old V6! (R882) :sweethear

Do you still have it? Did you get it for spares, as the last time I saw it was on eBay with a busted valve - very strange(!!)?

yes i bought it for 130 quid with a valve gone, best deal i ever had, i went to see it and it ran i thought very strange sound like a plugs come out. so i said nothing got it home and all that was wrong was a spark plug had come out. The guy that owned it should have taken the engine cover off for a look. At least i had a good deal. sold it again a while ago, was a cracking good one should have kept it

Wow! Kinda pleased it wasn't a valve then! Guess the plug made the hole in the engine cover.

That was one of the best engines I've had in any car.

I wonder where it is now! :)

yea it was a sweet engine, yes plug hit engine cover and broke it. I sold it then i saw it on pistonheads think its changed hands about 3 times since, it had a nice throaty exhaust as well, i was close to keeping it but had 3 anyway, at least i fixed and saved it from the scrappy
