Posted over an hour ago, was there when I went to eat - now it’s gone.
So - who has this offended this time? I pointed out that in the video, the sum of £6,000 was mentioned, so I looked into it further, and that amount only covers the parts, not the engine, which is another £1,000 odd pounds. And that £6,000 (£5995 to be exact,) doesn’t have VAT included, so all in it’s over £8,000.
The guy in the video was convinced, but I’m not. and others need to be aware of true costs anyway - so WHY WAS IT DELETED?
Somebody have a vested interest in this?

A friend just sent me this link -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RM7qfje__U a Jaguar V6 engine conversion = 240 bhp.
Sounds interesting and exciting, yes? On it the sum of £6,000 is mentioned, so not cheap. I looked deeper into it, and came up with these costs-
Actual developer -
http://www.rocketeerltd.com/ Fitting kit (NO ENGINE) £7194 including VAT. - See the list.
He needs at least 25 orders to commence manufacture of the parts, and asks for a £1,000 deposit - to be held in a separate account and (quote) “NOT used to finance material or production costs” but must be paid to ensure work starts. IF they don’t get enough orders, then the amount paid will be refunded. Orders are then expected to be delivered with 3 - 4 months. (Don’t hold your breath). Obviously they don’t start till the 25th guy stumps up.

1999 - 2002 S type reconditioned engine only - £1074 including VAT. Seems you also need the clutch housing, but not the clutch assy, which is part of the fitting kit. So assume the clutch housing is extra, as it says on the website.
Overall, the cost will be at least £8,268. plus whatever. Still take your fancy? I lost mine!
