Re: Last F1

The engine was removed to use in the Wiz race bike, the rolling chassis was then sold to the present owner. If engines were available it might be worth close to this sort of money but not given the engine situation.

Re: Water pump alternatives

I mostly dont want to use the original water pump because it is bulky and wont fit behind the fairing, dodgy reliability is also a big factor though.
