91k miles.

Ideal conversion for the 1.1 5 or clio 1.1 night and day

Clutch has done 1500 miles. Alternator about 2 years old.

Still in car can be seen running and driven. Can video it as well if you like.

Why is the engine for sale? Its being pulled out and replaced with a 1.8 litre engine.

Carb etc all recently rebuilt, well maintained, will hit 115mph in the 19 happily enough. In a 5 I have no idea but I can tell you the extra power makes it safe, none of this 30 seconds to 60 etc!

Those of you that have had the HONOUR to be in the presence of the beast can confirm that it starts instantly, a flick of the key and its running. Starts first time everytime, goes well for the power as well.

Anyway its in Glasgow and I'm looking for 50 quid for the engine, will chuck in a full headgasket set as well (headgasket set was bought because it was going to be ported and turbo'd), to crate it off will cost about £50 so £100 delivered. collection would save the postage costs obviously.

Also gearbox can be chucked in as well.

Please don't make me sell it to the scrap man.

Loom, coil, leads etc etc all included.
