You must have had a lucky one...

I bought mine, drove it home, purring like a kitting. (cos its was only standard). had an operation on my knee. when i could finally drive after about 2 months, it came home on a flatbed cos of a starter motor and it hadnt moved for a couple of months, so dont know hwo it can just pack up while not being moved. LOL.

but the hunt for clive goes on. I will findit for you babe

I know of Clive if its N666COD. My mate bought it, had the cracked block replaced with a new genuine 200 block. Low comp 400 ponies. However one of his employees was meant to be running it in. He did quite litterally run it in, into a tree and the occupants were cut out. Not one piece was salvagable! Clive is no more!

Dunno what happened to the reyland engine, but the one that was in it in 2007 was a right state, hence the brand new build. Not even the engine was salvagable as the car was that bent it snap the gearbox off the block. Drivers door handle was level with the rear axle!

I'll get the owners permission for pics although its not a good sight.
