Had a price from them back in August for £1707.60 for Dartons fitted, or £1536 for LA Sleeves.

You could save a few pennies and find a certain set of Dartons currently on ebay if you're serious though ;)

Give these guys a call. I just found an email where they'd quoted me £1390 with the block returned to them (They ship them to the USA I think it was) sleeved and honed to your pistons.
