Because we will steal each others Brit cars? Or everyone else's

The Rover is all alloy and I bet lighter than the TR motor, the TR is iron block isn't it? The TR has 150hp doesn't it? with less torque. The Rover came out with 180hp in some guises (10.5-1cr and no emissions, like my P6) and 200hp is very easy to achieve, 220+ with cams and SD1 Injected heads etc, cheap as chips to do also.
I agree on the noise, those Trumpy 6's can sound very nice.

I am biased though, I like the Rover, it's very light (Similar weight to a few cast iron four cyl motors), simple to set up, cheap to modify and easy to fix

yeah yeah thought ya might call my bluff on that one LOL, didnt relise tho the 3.5 put out so much hp tho.
Whats ya thoughts on the 3.5 vs the 4.4?

Are they as bad as Jags on the gas?

And fuck off auto, I'd want a manual

What.. the 2000/2500? no way, they are a basic engine in comparasion to the Jag... their manuals are 4 speeds with an auto overdrive in 3rd and 4th.

I'll stick with me 7-litre!

Oh, and those 4-speed overdrives were controlled manually/electrically with a little switch on the top of the shifter knob from memory.

depends on the age/make

my '74 BGT OD was on the dash. I think it was '76 onwards it was on the knob like the Triumphs

The 4.4 was 200hp and a nice bit of torque, the 3.5 had better flowing heads. A nice upgrade for the 4.4/P76 is 3.5 heads, or SD1 3.5 injected heads. The Range Rover heads flow better again I am told (later model injected ones), but they have small bumps in the intake ports for the injectors, so it's wise to get them filled and smoothed if running a carb set up

The SD1 with carbs was crap the P6 had more grunt, the SD1 was 150hp... Not much in one of those terrible things. My P6 scooted along fairly well for what it was.

lol I did see that one, but it's a bit beyond me at the moment, but what really holds me back is space. I wouldn't say no a bit of a build up etc, but just don't have the space

Hence why I need something still on the road so I can just do general stuff etc

Mate loved mine had a mk2 200 aswell, If ya want me to scan up the ralervant pages from my Triumph bible yell out.
If ya go for a S they have a lot of stag finishings like dash smaller stearing wheel etc, but all is swapable.
