Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Do not put in "nice" Landy engine, why do you think all the Landy folk put BMW engines in their cars? Assuming you don't have a burgeoning career as an Arabian oil baron in the works I'd go for a BMW 2.0-3.0l diesel engine. wono't cost an arm and a leg to run and they're great engines which will definitely fit in the orange.

Also because in the last ten years every Mondeo driving arsehole got a little bit of money and upgraded to a BMW there's loads of secondhand ones around for cheap money, easy to pick one up to scavange engine and gearbox from and then flog the remainder for spares.

but they don't.
Unless they want it for city life....

anyway its all moot now as I've nowhere to keep it.
