Ah, the joys of late '60s engineering. What with the conditions you describe with the 1,7 and 1,85 and the timing gear and water pump issues of the 2,0 Swedish designed unit (lack of parts) maybe my dream of returning 99 ownership after a 10 year hiatus is only a pipe dream. I thought the fact that parts were more available for the Riccardo units tipped the scales back in favor of an earlier 99 but you raise good points. I guess I thought modern technology mitigated these issues today and that Stags and TR7s wrier more or less immune to these issues.
