I appreciate the help. Salisbury, not too far away. Derek

Hi, I’ve written a book on the Rover V8, mainly as fitted to TVRs. I’ve been asked lots of times to extend it to other cars graced with the engine. Despite working on a number of RV8s I’ve got little info on carb setups. I'm in my dotage so have worked on carbs over the years and I'm up to...

I've unfortunately reached the age of decrepitude so can't lift or take...
