Beautiful cars! What's happened to the Spiders' original engine?

Cheers

The Spider span the cylinder 1 shell. The oil was full of shrapnel. Wrecked Either a rebuild or replacement engine. Found a low mileage phase one engine, apparently was well maintained(!), so that's getting dropped in. Spoke to the garage yesterday and they were in the process of swapping over parts. I'm in no rush to get it back tbh as it'll go straight into the garage until the spring!

I like Dundee a lot. A small city that's big on personality. We do get some lovely sunny weather it's true. Today being a case in point! I drove the GTV into St Andrews and back in the glorious sunshine There are some great roads in Wales In the valleys, Merthyr?

I wanted a Cagiva Mito back in the 90s. Mainly because I couldn't afford a 916 Ducati. The Cagiva Mito is probably worth about the same as a 916 Duke these days!?

Thanks Sorry to ask a noob/amateur question but how do I upload? Into my gallery? I did have a look at uploading when I originally posted, but couldn't figure it out. Forgive me if I missed an obvious thread explaining this! *insert eyeroll*

Edit - Sorted the photo posting thing

We've been fortunate in Scotland.. leaky tent and a toddler could've been a disaster.. 26'C and sunny for 10 days.. !!

I rode enduro's ( in wales..) for 30 years.. so Cagiva, Fantic and Husky
do appreciate the Street ( and MotoGP) stuff though

I now "live" around Abertillery (Ebbw Vale) - so @ 20 miles from Merthyr

lovely area.. and a wee bitty warmer than fife..

got an old diesel Punto that does the motorway miles - complete with DUCATI emblem on the tailgate
