I actually have two of them, one with an engine blown on the track for cannibilization I guess. Sad, cause it has a very low SN!

This is getting scary-are you my doppleganger??

The reason mine is being rebuilt as a 558 is because it blew up.............on track!

It broke a cambelt after the water pump seized and delaminated the belt at Almeria in Spain 3 years ago. Result was only 4 bent valves but I had to strip the engine anyway so..............it grew to 558 with big valves and a gasflow.

I would think mine is an early one as well since it is stated to be a 1988 and was imported from Japan-engine No is 00120.

yeah, bought mine early on with a 00027 and a replacement with a higher number. need to get to work on both of them, but I just got a new motor in the family with an engine nuber of 0002 and about 4 poops per hour. Good exhaust note, kind of sucks the fuel a bit much. mary is her name and no weight problems as yet (over 5 kilos now)

Congrats on your new arrival-latest addition to my family is called Beatrice, 15 months old now-but she is my grandaughter-so I guess I'm a bit older than you...................

Monty - "so I guess I'm a bit older than you"....that's a fairly safe bet if ever I've seen one
