    does the v reg 1999 vtr have the mk1 engine even though it has the mk2 facelift im asking cos i have a 99 t plate vtr and i need a new engine there is a good bargain close to me but the guy cant tell me the engine code whether its 1 or 3 plug ecu nothing he is a retard of the highest order

    would i be right to believe they swapped the looks late 99 but the engines remained the same until 2001 x reg and the engine in the v plate 1999 vtr is the nfz mk1 90bhp engine

    when i got a engine from a guy on here he said it was mk2 probly because of facelift
    but when i got it it was a mk1 engine 1999 so maybe its a mk1 engine

    No, they came with the same engines as late mk1s.
