Why does it need to come from the UK? Must be a pretty special motor..

It's easy enough to get a 33 in NZ for less than $2000, but that won't be a new/rebuilt motor obviously.

also, don't disregard the hong kong market. the get rid of their cars at about 50,000km so they're still quite young. a lot cheaper than UK as well. i was able to get the front half of a 33 16V brought over for about AUD$2,000 [includes engine, suspension, brakes, ignition, console, steering wheel and column - pretty much everything you would normally find on the front half of a car].
