I am trying to verify one of its previous owners and until i have done so, i wont make claim. I however can make claim to what this owner had done to the car as i have all the receipts

The car has had its engine completely rebuilt to a higher specification (as if 206 bhp wasnt enough back in the day)

Fully Balanced Tuftrided Crank
Larger Mahle Pistons
Mahle Rods
Reworked Gas Flowed Head
Larger Valves
Fast Camshaft and Double Spring Lifters
Enhanced Cooling system
Oil Cooler and Oil pressure guage
Uprated bilsteins and Hartge springs
16" Alpina Wheels

I have an invoice for this work totalling......£7340 !!!!!!

One of the previous owners said he had it on a dyno and it was pushing 242 bhp....i will verify this by doing my own once back on the road
