Now you mention it - Ive noticed! Still it works and she is 35 years old and the gearbox is not much younger

mi mate i was wondering how many mpg does your p6 do on an A road run at 60ish mph? And how does the sd1 5 speed box affect performance/economy?

Rover V8 was available in land rovers until 04 I believe and I think the engines are still made for use in kit cars and engine swaps

I believe a company in Bristol still makes the V8 for various applications.
