I actually thought the price was ok.

I did wonder why lotus had some tuned engines laying about. Were these the left overs from those fitted to the press cars?

Pretty damn keen pricing for a motorsport built 400bhp V6 engine, TBH. The lack of ECUs would be a pain in the hoop for the punter looking to nail one into a kit car and whilst I momentarily thought about Elaine's car, it'd be far from a straight swop, given the cooling system overhaul the Evora 400 seems to have received.

That's me told then.

I like my 280 horses just fine anyway.
