The growth of the replica 550 and speedster market has focused alot on this particular engine. Now if you could find one the other issue is that they cost more than your car. Not much change out of $150,000 in any condition. They don't have direct lubrication of the crankshaft, so you need to rev the engine to create an oil mist - hence the rarity. Before the hills echo with the sound of a screaming 4cam there is one small issue to overcome. To you sir €119,000 + 19% tax
Which breaks down as €19,000 for the engine and €100,000 scene tax.
The website for the new one ishere
or some context a used one on ebay
Oh and yes the eagle eyed amongst you will notice that the picture has 48s instead of the correct 46 webbers but this is its better side
