Could it be a Cooper S eng and the 9FXEY Series Engine No has caught them off guard? Or is it because the Clubby originally came with a 998?

I suppose all will be revealed when I speak to the owner today.

Occam's Razor -- "All other things being equal, the simplest explanation is usually the correct one".

It'll be a bargain if it is...

Still wrong however...it's 60/1000ths or .060"

60,000 thous of an inch is 60 inches in diameter!

.. and a clear indicator that the seller doesn't know what it means. He's been told verbally "it's 60 thou oversize" and has translated that into 60,000.

Good luck Dicko, I reckon you'll get a bargain there ;)

Wello of course it has!!

Old mate had no idea what he had, nor did he have any interest in finding out....he just wanted to get rid of it. Then a whole load of people start asking questions about it's capacity, and he realises that the capacity of it could be important. He does some research and the price triples. :roll:

You did it to yourselves :roll:
