Is this aftermarket forgies or does the same apply to the factory untouched 207?

Yep it did use oil when I had it, more than I liked to be honest, but it went hard and there was no expense spared on it.

You have done well at the price you paid, actually an absolute bargain, but I will let the buyer keep that to himself.

Mine has after market forged internals, and prior to fitting the air oil seperator, it also used a fair bit of oil, even on normal street driving, now its much more acceptable.
