"Only" 167bhp from one of these, and gearboxes that fit are expensive (S-Type jag or late MX5 IIRC). A tuned 4 pot Zetec would likely work out cheaper overall.

"This engine has only done 34000 miles"

Must be some kind of longevity record for a TVR engine

MX-3 I'd imagine?, I'd also muuuch rather have the 2.5v6 from the MX-6/probe than the ford item.

Very tight engine. I drove the 24V V6 and it almost accellerated and decellerated in time with my right foot! - like an electric motor!
