Because I had only seen them as "industrial" engines here, we had vm's running pumping units generators, lighting plants and powering fishing trawlers.
But as said, when I test drove the rrc back in '88 I was most impressed, more recently helping my mate to transplant the vm into his County I have a great respect for that little turbo diesel.

The VM was used in quite a lot of cars.

I believe LR toyed with the idea of fitting the 5 cylinder 3.1 litre VM into the range rover before going with the 2.4, now to me thats the engine they should have gone with.
