I have just seen the episode where they strip a Mini.
£750 for a used 998 engine?! Either they found someone with more money than sense, or the program is faked. I suspect the latter!

Lots of entertainment programmes on tv based around cars, all to be taken with a large pinch of salt !

Adding an apostrophe in the first word of the title would've made it interesting from a completely different angle. Probably would have some ugly mystery stains on the upholstery however.
