I think that was Jaetee's car. Good price for an Mk1 with that many miles (for the seller). Might have to go down the BaT road on mine.

Flat Six Motor in a 40 AE

It's got a 7 year old, approx 50K mile Flat-6 Innovation engine, 3.8L conversion. According to the seller it has just recently begun using oil and is missing on a cylinder or two.
And it's a Millennium Edition.
Anybody have any guesses about what the engine problem is?

Sad when a seller is NOT even motivated enough to clean the car before putting it up for sale on BAT. That speaks loudly on the overall care the current owner has given this car!

Idk, spending 25k on a raby rebuild speaks louder. Although it may not be the current owner that had the rebuild done. I didn't see any mention of miles since rebuild. Maybe didn't wash out of pure disappointment and disgust.

As for the engine, there's plenty to speculate on, but with the bigger jugs, I would be shading toward a cracked cyl or ring damage causing the misfire and oil use. A borescope would likely tell a lot, and a leakdown test.

You make a good point; however, what speaks even louder is the claim that it was "rebuilt by Flat 6 and Raby" and now the engine is having serious problems, yet no documentation has been provided by the seller on BAT and until Jake Raby chimes in on this matter and confirms, bidders must assumed otherwise.
