Piers7 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Mark, just to make you aware there is somebody under the Wanted section on Pistonheads who's after a BDR or Twin Cam. Superlight #115 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F355GTS Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 Thanks Piers, I've communicated with Graham in the past, he's had a BDR before and was tempted but I believe he really wants a genuine, factory built HPC Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singlespeeder Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Lovely looking car, given road use rough idea of when it'll need a refresh? what it could cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F355GTS Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 onespeed I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer, I know people talk about 30k Mile refreshes but no idea of cost, having said that I read elsewhere of a 30k engine being stripped and showing no appreciable wear at all.

MarcNS Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Great engine and car, my all time greatest 7. That engine in the Escort going through the forests is so cool. I don't think I can bring myself to sell TCTCB though, but very tempted. Marc The CarThe Club Built Vvrrrooom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
