    And then there were the few cars with three lights, notably the Rover 90 and the Austin A90 Atlantic. At the time they were introduced to NZ it was illegal to have one foglight, so they had to be disconnected.

    Funny that, my first memory of a family car was a Triumph 2000 with my dad telling us when we hit 100 mph on the dual carriageway.

    Twin headlights.

    We used to go backwards around roundabouts and were told if you did it enough you'd time travel. Steering the P6 (Betsy) and almost hitting a caravan is my first car memory though

    He had a brown one of those or a later model Triumph at some stage. Didn't have it long so don't know much about em, but yeah twin lights. I always thought it was a V8 too but could be wrong. He did have a 2000TC for a while too when gas started getting out of hand.

    P76 did have 4.4 rover v8 and a 2.6 straight 6. I think the delux had only 2 headlights and the standard and the targa had double headlights.

    It was the Triumph I meant, but cheers for linking a new to me car I don't think I've ever seen one of those, and if I did I'd probably think it was an old Mazda The hatch version reminded me of and SD1 but when I looked them up to refresh my memory, the SD1 is way uglier

    The P6 was just the 3.5l 8, didn't realize Rover did a 4.4l. Will have to read up on it at some stage. Wonder why they never put them in the Landys like the 3.5.

    Think Range rover, Not landrover.

    Some of the p76 Targa Florio's came up quite nice, but they were a pretty ugly car in general.

    That is not how you pump up a tire.

    Apart from being made of aluminium I don't think they've a lot in common with the Rover and Leyland motors..

    But I could be wrong.

    You are wrong. Some parts would swap over. Core block from memory was the same.
