Advertising for a friend (LCB member Sheps). The time has come for a power upgrade so the retro cool xflow is coming out in favour of a supercharged MX5 engine. :-)
The engine has been faultless over the past three seasons of trackdays, sprints, hillclimbs and autotesting. The car is this years Isle of Wight autotest champion with five wins and a second in 6 rounds.
We'd rather sell the whole lot as one but will split if required.
Any questions just ask.

I will hopefully start a thread on the new install too. :-)

Starts on the button, and runs without fault. No knocks rattles or smoke.
Very well maintained and serviced.
Still in the car, so can be driven, then removed and taken with you.
Also happy to pallet and send, for cost.

There are some videos on my YouTube of it starting from cold, showing oil pressure, and running up to temperature etc.
Also some of it being driven.
