the new owner doesn't care about the money - what he wanted was a 100% original unrestored 1958 car - when I told him about it he just wired me the money and instructed me to buy it.

for some reason it had been put on a 1963 A suffix but the owner had it put back onto a 1958 number it will be Swiss-registered anyway in due course as the new owner wants to use it every day to drive round his estate and into the village - and when he drives down to his museum to inspect his...

Hi series lovers I don't know if any of you saw the grey 1958 car on ebay last week 1958 LAND ROVER Series II 2 litre petrol barn find very original | eBay well I bought it on behalf of a mate of mine - collecting mon 23rd. It will be going off to his collection in the new year when...

sounds to me his best bet is to stick in a 3.9 with a Viper Hurricane and an Edelbrock 500 carb That should give him around that figure and plenty torque too. There is a top-hat engine on ebay - looks very nice Rover V8 3.9 EFI fully rebuilt engine | eBay

I think not old boy - has been tried before would be great news for everyone if they did - get rid of asthmatic cast iron jobbies. only option is to give it a go. Like the supercharger - such a tease!

Rover V8's are not crap - they are actually very good - they are just not big enough to haul around 2.5-tonne AWD cars - in MGs, TVRs, Rovers and the like they are lovely. I myself have gone down the American route, but it is not as simple as just dropping in an LS or a hemi - the amount of...

Yes - and what a lovely thing it was - in a RR 3.5 flapper injection which was giving 12 mpg and all sorts of rough running and starting issues - we put the Edelbrock on there - instant response, smoothness and 16-18MPG if you drive sensibly. Some people are carb fans and some injection. I...

Gents if you go onto the Edelbrock website and look at the tech installation vids the first thing the chap says is - 'do not over-carb your engine'. So a 500 is good for up to 305 CI(5 litres) a 600 up to 427 (7 litres) etc. over-carbing just wastes fuel - obviously it is slightly different...

NOW SOLD Hi Guys though would give you series monkeys a shot at ths before it goes on the usual websites in the new year....... This car belongs to the son of Sussex Landie Guru Derek Allfrey of Billingshurst. He has just gone off to uni and no longer has need for it so reluctantly has...

you can't really tell until you pull it out and compare the cam to a fresh one of the same type - or lobe to lobe to see if you have specific problem on one cylinder - also you need to check the lifters to make sure they are not dished - if they are then the valves will not open fully even if...

Zen here are some options - both with standard springs etc - just make sure you set the pre-load correctly - shims for the rocker arms are 20 quid a set. Viper hurricane is outstanding in the mid-range but only available as a long-nose for dizy engines - fantastic value at only £160 quid If...

Yes In south africa the 110 could be had with the BMW 2.8 straight 6, although extensively adapted and simplified(no fly-by-wire throttle, for example). Not sure if it was available in the 90 but I don't ever remember seeing one. The other engine option was the 300 TDi and then TD5. In...

Sorry chaps here are a couple of pics today my disco and I will be doing many useful things................. Taking 3 months worth of bottles and cans to the recycling centre getting rid of final garden rubbish of the year taking away a mountain of amazon/internet inspired...

sorry chaps here be pictures
