It's a 2ltr pinto fairly standard just has induction. Most Marcos' use the rover v8 but i was after something i can insure as i'm 25 with 1 years no claims, this bad boy is only £200 a year! .
I'm planning to start a project on my old mini, a honda vtec conversion is looking most probable at the moment. wobble

Yeah it looks like a real beast, although mine will be going under the bonnet.

I need to get revenge on all those Merc Sprinter vans that toasted me when i drove my old mini!

I like it, and a reasonable price you paid there for such a unique car.

Oh and welcome to pistonheads.
