The winged wet sump has been promised to another LCB member so it can either be sold an old road car sump or dry sump sump!
Most of its life has been spent in a race car (clubmans car and Locost). We have previously had a problem with the head gasket failing when running in the Locost but it has since been running on the road and a trackday over the past couple of years without problems reoccurring. It is at very least a strong bottom end with some nice head parts. Not sure what its worth so would accept offers.
