A pal of mine is selling his scorpio .its a 2.9cosworth saloon , its absolutely spotless . Not even a mark on . He owns his own chauffeur (corrected!  ) company and looks after his motors BUT the head has gone , he said he has looked into it and found somewhere to do it for 300 quid . He wants 300 for the car . So 600 nicker . For the cars condition it seems a good price but once a heads gone is a car ever really the same or is it just the start of more and more aggro ?

The real question is, whom can you trust to do an excellent job of fitting the head? It's surely worth it if you can totally trust someone to do a really good job.
