Parts seem to be abundant everywhere.

Rarely hear of people needing to re-build a RR engine but we fall over piles
of Ferret stuff at the rallies here. No one rebuilds Ferret B 60 engines as
there are so many to be had including un-used ones in crates.

Transmission woes are more likely especially with inept use of the
pre-selector gearbox where the gear change pedal has been mistakenly used as
a clutch or someone has put 90EP gear oil in it instead of the required SAE
30.
