    At the moment, it feels like I couldn't expect more than £3.5 for it as a 'whole car'. Viewing the car from you guys perspective - as in, only being interested in the engine package - I'd probably have to accept a lot less. I only fitted a brand new Quaife/Q2 last Nov which wasn't cheap so I'm hoping to cover my most recent costs at the very least. Basically, I'm not sure what it's realistically worth.

    I'll probably know a bit more when I've had few expert opinions come in. But maybe investigating the welding option in greater detail (as is suggested on here) may change everything.

    Tim.
    Kit cars aren't emissions declared so it is a flat rate whether it be a phase 1, phase 2 or phase 3 engine based on the pre 2001 road tax bands so it would be £245 per annum currently.

    The 3.2 GT & the 146 Gta are the ones which are apparently very difficult to wire in due to the number of Canbus connections to the ecu. An aftermarket ECU would be the simplest solution but as Guy points out this will add approx £1500 to the cost. If you throw throttle bodies into the mix then you would be looking at over £3k by the time you have done the mapping session.

    I agree with Craig's estimates: to get my 3.2 up and running was about £1500 without TBs (£1k for the hardware and approx £500 to set up and tune), but it is putting out 280 at the wheels.
