For those of you who followed this thread, you would know that I was looking at buying a Rover 623 to use as an engine donor for my beloved but somewhat broken BB2 H23A2 (thanks for the top tip @4thgenphil).
Anyway, like a nutter, I bid on it and won - I now owned an old Rover 623 with 41,000 miles on the clock.. in Carlisle!
Anywho, yesterday I got on a train and headed off to go and pick it up and drive it back to Bournemouth..
What an epic drive that was - damn, I thought the train journey was dull, the M6 is enough to sedate a horse!
Well, I made it back in one piece with my new acquisition and here for your delectation it is:
"Great!" I hear you say "Really pleased for you.. but this is a bloody Prelude forum Doug..
"Ah, but wait.
This is the reason I bought it:
that H23 pulled like a bloody train from 6 miles south of the Scottish border all the way to Bournemouth on 3/4 of a tank of petrol!
Eventually paid 250 for it - absolute bargain IMHO, I can't wait to get this engine in my car!
So a shout out to @4thGenPhil & @indigolemon, thanks guys!
