Guys I value your input.Filip sold the Jh ..The reason being the esprit has taken so long with my mates help .Just could not wait another two years of weekends .Dont think Mrs B would be best pleased .I have not given up on the car ....still need to sort a few things .As you know a lot has been modified s4 hubs and wheels, later Renault box, yes a lot of effort has gone into the car. Mainly because of faults found after purchase ,which did not show on its last mot fail sheet ..I wonder what became of the original engine?.This car might have been the first car to have a rover conversion.Thanks all .Mike
