Then there was a massive argument and tradesmen nearly came to blows.

So what is this car?



NSFW depending where you work

Probably safe for work unless it's a junior school you work in

The bloke doing the ventilation said it was a 2.8 but I am sure that
they did not make a 2.8


Anyway we all got red carded and sent home for the day.


2000 inline 4
2300 inline 6
2600 inline 6
3500 v8

Could be 2600SEÂ* or 3500SE facelift model. Not a Vanden Plas, no
rubbery boot lid spoiler.

I'd go for a 2600SE as in some shots you can see a 4 character logo on
the side of the front wing between the door and wheel. The 3500's just
said V8 in that position and the poverty-spec engines had the
displacement.

The 2000/2300 couldn't pull a greasy stick out of a dog's arse. In one
shot he hoons it away quite smartly, so 2600SE.

I had an SD1 3500V8 on a V plate (MUE285V). Wonderfully relaxing to
drive and a brilliant efficient way to convert cash into CO2 without
moving much. I had a classic P5 3500 Saloon on an original G plate
(MTE 934G) at the same time with leather and wood and an even more
efficient way of converting cash into CO2 without moving far.

SD1 17-18mpg around town 24mpg on a run
P5Â* 13-15mpg around town 22mpg on a run.

You could her the SD1 rusting away when it rained. Both were cheap to
run compared with my Vanden Plas 4ltr R saloon, a 1966 Princess body
with refined fins and a side-valve Rolls Royce 4L inline 6. 12mpg
about town 19mpg on a run.




side valve??????


Both block and head were aluminium, tappets were hydraulic
self-adjusting operating on overhead inlet and side exhaust valves. The
counterbalanced crankshaft ran in seven bearings.[

That was the pre-Rover 2000 engine (with the side valve exhaust.). Some Land Rovers were fitted with that engine too.

The V8 was all OHV hydraulic tappets single camshaft between the cylinder banks. Push rods.

Standard Yank practice. (It was actually a modified Yank engine)
