Much appreciated.

Yeah, it probably has no points. The parts should be pretty available, if not here at the dealer. With my euro if i took a parts number to the parts guy he could always get it. Most parts are the same as the us spec cars of the same year if the 280 motor was offered. If not offered the nearest year offered usually worked.
M110 is smooth powerful and rugged. Loves to rev, loves to work. My car had been flooded when I got it. Pulled it down and replaced rings, re-used most everythign else, welded the intake where the water had frozen and broke it and went autocrossing with it. Redlining mulitple times per run, no issues. I still have an excellent pp and clutch disc for it that I will sell reasonably if you get the car.
