The chap who looks after my Volvo shares a workshop with Nigel Altiss of Altiss Engineering- chap who built Red Victor.
Anyway, one of the services he offers is rebuilding Lotus engine blocks by laying down TIG welds, one after another, then machining.
This is clearly not a marginal expense, so the engines must be worth it to the people who get him to do this after their engines have failed.
II woudl quite like a Lotus, but it's a long way down the list right now.
