hotwire is correct. putting 320is engine in 318 is almost impossible. by my understanding its due to a conflict between steering and exhaust.anyway why is being left hand drive a problem, within 100 miles of trying to drive lhd you're used to it.
specialist in norfolk you mention owned one of the 320is's i have thrashed. a mate of mine is a mate of his.
senario. tell missus having a romantic holiday for two in italy, get one way tickets, spend holiday looking at 320is's that are for sale, purchase one, drive home, sorted. ear ache well worth it considering what you can buy for 1k or under. minters are a little more but not much.
Bummer. Time for a re-think.
Really fancied more go without resorting to the heavy six-pot.
At least it will leave cash spare for LindeBus (if it happens!)
