Sixth paragraph down

The Zohan

Not unusual for a Lambo or other exotica i am afraid.

Was filming at GreyPaul Ferrari in Nottingham earlier this year, chatting to a chap who owned a 575 (i think) the GT tourer type.
His car had just had a 20K service which is a cambelt service, might have been a 40k service. anyway

The bill was £ 4,000.00!

I've heard that the semi-auto gearbox for a 456GT is £30k That may be a load of bollards but the mechanic fitting it said that's what they cost......

Lambo Murcialago needs a new clutch every 10,000 miles. Cost? £6,000!

Pumpkin

for exotica budget £ 1000 per cylinder.

Rebuild on a 2.2 Lotus Excel SE just under £5K!!!!!

Wasnt too happy with that bill I can assure especially as it was only a 180bhp engine

A Goodman's Metro 6R4 Engine is around £22k now.

Or a 2002 S8 Impreza WRC engine is around £50k +. £5k would just about get you the turbo rebuilt!

An early Focus WRC engine freshen up is around £35k.

Those rebuilds will make the engine good for another 1000km's before you need to part with another suitcase full of cash!

Don't even mention gearboxes, dampers, diffs, wiring looms or boot hinges! (£1,000 for a boot hinge for an Impreza WRC!!)

If you can afford the car in the first place, I don't think you care about big bills.

I guess its all proportional to the value of the mota, if you can afford the £300,000 for a McMerc SLR you can afford to fork out £82,817.98 plus VAT if the engine went bang!!! I think you'd make sure you ran that in properly!
