Cheers guys. Pete suggested I just swap the body too but I'm no spanner man so I'm cautious about swapping bits on a perfectly good engine! Is it a simple bolt-on job?

If it's a choice between damaging something and keeping the bonnet shut, I'll leave the bonnet shut lol.
I'll have a proper look tomorrow, thanks for the advice.

Think that's the best policy. Really pleased for you - I know it's a lovely car. So we both got our cars on the same weekend. look forward to meeting you sometime at a 260 meet.
Cheers Ric, yes very pleased. A couple of minor cosmetic issues but they're really nothing much and the interior is absolutely perfect - amazing for the miles and age.
The Pony is sorted too lol. Boiling water and careful use of a knife on the spare throttle body got it off then I stuck it on the body already installed on the engine. No nuts or bolts touched!
