Future Plans "A possible engine transplant is on the cards in the continuing search for more power and reliability, maybe going down the Rover 1400 k series route or possibly the 1600 Honda V-Tec which will take us up a class but with 150bhp as standard on tap, I think we could stand a chance that amount of power, also both occupants needs to lose some weight!"
