Right, so where do I start...? This engine has a bit of nice history. It was bought by my uncles best friend in 1996 from a crash damaged 1991 cavalier gsi with a GENUINE 18,000 miles on it.
It was purchased for the Ginetta race series and was subsequently sent to sbd for them to build their sbd tp196 throttle body engine...
Thats where it stayed until approx 2009 due to an illness and then unfortunately death of the owner of the engine and Ginetta
all sbd did was fit arp rod bolts and strip the head and rebuild it with one piece race valves. Since then, it was regularly turned over by hand and everything soaked in oil.
i bought it in 2010 simply for the history and the fact of the mileage with a view of building a concours Astra gte 16v. That was nealy four years ago! So now I need to sell it.
I genuinely don't want to sell it, but can't justify it being sat on my engine stand.
it comes complete with everything and as you can imagine, looks like a new engine! It's a bit dusty obviously, but I may give it some elbow grease, but then I might not, as you can clearly see its done hardly anything at all!
so you'll be getting a rare 20xe with an even rarer 18,000 miles.
£700
