yep, and then the Aussies got it, made it 4.4 litres and made sure the cooling system worked before dropping it into the ill-fated P76. A nice motor though by 1970's standards

Tom Walkinshow was a great icon of racing in the raw.
These were the days when the medical for a racing licence checked for a hairy chest.

@kurt44mg42 The Buick V8 was abandoned by GM, Rover bought the tooling etc and vastly improved it..........it is therefore at the very most an American/ British collaberation.
Unless of course you are going to say that it is just an internal combustion engine, so it was invented before America was even a country. Everything thereafter has just been a modification of the original idea.

Hmm... My apologies for necro-ing, but that Buick V8 had some pretty major work done to it for Rover to use. Especially the twin-plenum Lotus tuned racing ones. 300BHP at the wheels, from a 3.5L engine? Yeah, Buick achieved that no problem with their other 1950's designs. Of wait.

Yes, the 3500 was a great British car...powered by an American Buick V8 engine.
