Whatever happened to Nick Read's old motor?

[white16valver]

That turbo'd blue monster?

Was sold and then it just kind of disappeared it seems?

Just had a sudden thought, that's the only reason I'm posting lol

its in Preston, was crashed about 2/3months ago.

Anyone wanna buy the engine? £3500?

[white16valver]

Nooooooooooooooo!

Gutting :(

was for sale on cliosport last year in the warrington area....didnt know it had been bumped.....what a shame

[white16valver]

I don't think anyone buying the engine should do so without the appropriate mods to deal with the extra power! lol

well it was bought from warrington by a lad in Preston called carl over a year ago now, i asked about it on here when he overtook my mate on his cbr600 at 160mph on the motorway :twisted: and was told it was nick reads old car.

Dont know how he bumped it, but the chassis is knackered i believe so think he is just getting rid of the engine, if i had the money it would be in my car right now!
