Around that price unfortunately mate. When buying an engine just assume that it will need a full rebuild.

Wahhh! £200 is cheap! Sure some people are selling them for close to twice as much as that, everyone is after 1275s atm.

I addressed this issue early on in my mini ownership...... Now no one dares mention it.... Ever :) not when my mini has been the one rescuing all the so called 'reliable'cars. My mini has only broken down once in 4 years

What he said ^ Should look fine, I'm sure I've seen it done before.

oh yes, i thought for a minute there that the mk2 bootlid was the same type as the later style...cheers might go for that style then :)

mostly because in my experience the k-series has been a terrible engine - overheating issues and blown head gaskets etc...plus I reckon there'd be plenty of room for a well built a-series, 1275 turbo or similar...

The K-Series is a great engine, light and powerful. Fit a new MLS head gasket and cure the overheating h/gasket problem.

If you look after a K-Series it'll be fine, they're only crap because people don't do even the most basic maintinence. The K-series is a much larger unit than an A-Series so theres no reason that it wouldn't fit... it's just a massive step backwards from even the 1.1 OHC engine

why would any one try to improve the look of a mini by giving it a semi-metro front

Not sure about there shocks but their suspension set ups for other cars are incredible, Clio trophy's have them.
