But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

A lot less than what she's now worth. ;)

It took me a fair few months to find as well. Low Milage (sub 100k) unmolested 16 'valvers' are a rare breed and at today's prices you'll need at least £3k in your sky to get a half decent one, £4k-£5k for a really good un, and £5k for an absolute minter.

If you do find one though you'll be in the money, cos they are rapidly appreciating in value as the years go on.

The scrappage scheme has helped raise the price too  :grin:

Notorious for not running properly & breaking down :grin:

If the charger has been rebuilt recently (they need it every 40k) and it is running sweet now, I don't see why not as long as it has a decent service history and the shell is in good condition.

If you are buying as an investment, stick with OEM. Edition one G60s are very rare though, so prepare to budget £4.5k minimum.
