Caterham are currently offering the Classic with a K series engine which I believe is a Rover engine. It seems to me to make little sense to buy a car with a discontinued engine. Does anyone know how they are obtaining engines which are supposed to be out of production? Thanks

Two ways probably.
A: Rover built millions of the things but didn't build as many cars. B: MG are building cars again, so they're probably building engines too.
the engine is made by 'powertrain' who are still in business. it has been fitted to many vehicles inc. the ariel atom. It is an excellent engine when looked after and is amazingly light and powerful.
The Chinese MGF is now out of production. Again....
Didn't the Chinese buy the rights to the engine?
Probably busy renaming it the MG HGF.
