yes have a mk1 with 24v,also had mk2 just sold that, superb engine goes in like its factory fitted, does more to the gallon than a pinto,aprox 30 mpg and 200 horses as well had it up to 110 in my mk1 swb that was scarry but it still had loads more in it.also runs on unleaded, and are very cheap to get from scrap granadas.
