Sorry should have said that the car is a 1975 mk2 with a horrible sounding 
bottom end rattle in the engine.
Just so happens that there is a 2.5 engine available locally.

Insurance is a good question. The car is not insured with a classic 
insurance company,as my son prefers to get his years of no claims bonus up 
and running he insures with a conventional company.

Cheers
