    That's the less desirable cast iron block, 275hp from the factory (depending on carbs / injection). The fact that its brand new is a novelty however.

    Here's a fresh rebuild, complete with injection for US$10K. https://racingcarnetwork.com/race-car/cosworth-bdg-2-0l-engine-2/

    How the hell did you find that? I look every few months. The one at Pickles did look like an iron block, and it didn't have the LHS oil feed - weird.

    So now the Aston is a kitcar?

    Fair dinkum you really underwhelm me sometimes Ian with your prognoses of cars that don't,apparently,appeal to you.

    FFS Ferrari use Fiat and some other proprietary parts so are they on your radar next?

    Mind you, you could do the same thing with Fiat parts on the older Ferrari (308: red light on the inside if the door; front side indicator buttons, fuel filler cap, oil filler cap)

    Fair dinkum you're really sensitive! I didn't say the Aston was a kit car (they make their own engines, which is the key factor IMO) rather that it amuses me working out where parts come from. And yes the Italians do it too.

    Having said all that, given the price and bespoke image of Aston, they could have gone to the trouble of having their own lenses.

    James Bond should have stuck to driving a Sunbeam Alpine , far quicker on those tricky Scottish mountain roads than a DB4..
