Looks like a decent car in need of a little love.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

I read it as two engines included. The original and  a 2 litre from a Renault 25.

Your right, I never read the end, the SOHC 25 engine fits nicely in the bay, to change the cam belt the engine obviously has to come out but thats eery 50k miles or so

If anybody was interested I would have a look at the map first.
That is seriously far North, we are not talking Glasgow or Edinburgh here!

It's not that far north, it's just past Peterhead.  It's a shame lockdown is still on, as you could make a nice trip of heading there, cruise through Speyside, visit some distilleries, then out to the east coast to view the car.

Peterhead or the blue toon. About a 45 minute drive north of Aberdeen. Be prepared for a language barrier once up there. I grew up in Aberdeen but I even find the flavor of Doric spoken there hard to comprehend! The country roads up there are actually amazing. Great Lotus and motor bike roads.
