Perfect condition but written off due to crime scene?
How does that work?

Was it stolen and recovered after payout or something?

Problem with half of these modern engines is the number of plastic parts being used in things like the inlet manifold and the like mean it can't really be modified so a new one would have to be done from scratch. Perfect for a caterham or similar I reckon.

I think he meant the physical size of the motor/gearbox

My wife drives one, the gearbox looks huge (F-R) It's like a big transfer case looking up at it.
And the motor leans back a long way.
