It will only be the manifold that will increase the bhp, I wouls tell them 205bhp and be done with it.

RH Classic are worth a try

Also Keith Michaels

Much depends on what your background is, where you live, what you are using the car for (daily social & domestic + commuting), what your previous experience is with RWD stuff.

I would say proper cover with everything declared and no limited mileage of 3k a year crap will cost you over £450 a year if you are aged 30+ and have a good record

HIC are still going, they are big on the VW front, they are owned by Adrian Flux now though
