Any reasonable priced swap is years out and will hardly be worth the time and money by then anyway.
Even used 1st gen engines are still quite expensive. I can buy like 4 K24's for what one cost. I feel like I stole the last FA20 I bought since I got it for free with a spun rod bearing.

All this car buying talk. My next car will be electric, I hope. Nothing good out yet... Has me wondering if I'll bother with another car. May have to convert this one.

I'm suggesting there wouldn't be that many machine made rolls.

Much like anywhere else in the world certain types of cars are associated with certain types of people. Cars don't change but people association does, depending upon each country.

Never been tempted to go for a Morgan, when the opportunity did arise for an extreme toy it was a Caterham that got the nod.

Fancy a 550 or a 575.. but again no idea why..

Then maybe an all black Rover? Crime bosses must have plenty of cash for weekly repairs.
