I got his phone number from TGM and spoke to him, so he's definitely still in business. May be a possibility for an engine. I've also spoken to Andy at Veysport, and will certainly go down that route if I can source a motor.

Thanks for your help.

Wow - that's serious money! Approx £19K for an engine and box! I don't think I shall go down that route.

Might as well build your own - world's most expensive S2000!

You might need to be patient - mine came from Douglas Valley (IIRC!) but everyone was binning them way back when...

I think engines are a bit overpriced atm, but there are less and less of them.

If you already have an aftermarket ECU, the option of a K20 and the Ballade install kit will start to become more popular. It's still a nicer engine too imo

Thank you - that's a fair commitment.

I'd be inclined to fit an NSX V6 myself.
