Rover P6 V8 Acceleration WOW!!

Getting from minor road to major with a tight clutch. Sounds impresive - did'nt help child's car sickness though!

According to the chap driving behind us we produced a minor plume of smoke from the tyres - so can that be classed as a burnout ?)

The Rover V8 engine has been fitted to many great vehicles over 30 years - TVR, Landrover, even LDV Sherpa ambulances and Police vans!

There is another video on youtube that shows an old Ferguson tractor with Rover V8 engine fitted!! Not original equipment I would guess

I'm Not the most knowledgeable on this matter. But wasn't that engine a buick.

You are right. Developed from a Buick V8

The caption is a pain. Can't you remove it? Or put it low down or somewhere else?

I could repost the video without it I think - Have to find the original file on my pc.

AMEN to that! :)

I MUST have a V8 Rover of some sort...either this or an SD1. :)

Great cars! I want to buy one since they're still reasonably cheap to run for a v8

It's not quite standard, as it's one of the estate conversions.

P6 all the way! SD1 is a pile of shit in comparison...
