Looks really nice but what’s it like underneath, seen too many that look good on top but are rotten underneath. In my opinion it’s the best engine and if they can back up the belts being done with paperwork there’s £450 to £600 of your car

Thanks Brian wonder why he advertised it wrong,I messaged him and its never had a clutch fitted so i might stay clear from this one after doing my own car in the past.

Don’t underestimate the 160, armed with a 177 map and a stainless exhaust, my old one dyno’d at 183bhp which incidentally was more than all the other 190s that turned up on the day. Gearbox makes it rev lower so better for the engine, better for motorways too and slightly better economy

To be fair the MOT history doesn't have any mention of the C word
