TSR Performance are in Somerset which is quite near you, however you could buy the car that mk1jim jas for sale which has a G60 in as this would probably be cheaper!!

Have you ever thought of doing the conversion yourself?
If you go for the 20vt swap all the parts needed can be bought off the shelf i fitted a 20vt a couple of years ago and was very straight forward.
If i remember right the cost was around ?2.5k but the 20vt where fetching a good price then, now there between ?500 and ?800.
If you are have the skill to remove and fit an engine then the rest is all bolts and common sense have a look at qpeng.com  they have a fitting guide and plug and play looms etc.this is where i found my info.
happy to help give me a shout

It depends what you hope to achieve and this is only my opinion. I think  2 ltr 16v power is the best conversion, you just dont need over 200bhp in a front drive light weight mk1, so you do not need any form of forced induction with the extra work they entail. [ turbo, intercooler and associated pipework].

go for a G60, nothing else makes a noise like the G-ladder charger.
but then again i am biased.
Can reccomend the guy who did my conversion, ballistic power near stansted. Top bloke.
