I take it you've seen the white one on eBay?  It's got to be an improvement on the std lumps but can only reduce the value,  like Gs with rover V8s ,,,,,,,,, your going to have to get one of my conversions eventually  :)

"Popular conversion............."

You've got to ask why would you bother.

Top quality  respray as well, the door latches look great in white

What model is the white Ebay one, it looks like a 461 but it seems to have electric and manual diff locks?

Wouldn't't it be easier to find and find an M103?
