#ROVER V8

Leyland P76, 1973. Some cars that were introduced in 1973 have endured, others didn't make it beyond 1974. The P76 was designed by Michelotti and was British Leyland's Australian subsidiary's attempt to break into the Australasian big car market powered by a 4.4 litre version of the ex Buick alloy Rover V8. However a combination of poor build quality, unreliability and the 70's fuel crisis in addition to huge debts meant the car's fate was sealed and production ended in 1974

Ginetta G27 

Ginetta Cars Limited is a British builder of racing and sports cars that date to 1958. The G27 was a two-seater derived from the earlier G4 and was in production in some form between 1985 and the 1990s. s was the case with other Ginetta cars, the G27 would borrow some of its technology. For example, it used the front suspension from a Triumph Vitesse, a modified Jaguar independent rear suspension, and could be fitted with a wide range of engines up to the Rover V8. It was more recently fitted with a Ford Zetec 2.0-liter engine with a Ford Type 9 5-speed  manual transmission. It has its original intake manifold and exhaust from England.

🇬🇧 Enter the realm of automotive legend with the Rover SD1, a marvel born from the collaborative genius of the Specialist Division and Austin Rover within British Leyland. Crowned the European Car of the Year in 1977, its "SD" moniker not only denotes "Specialist Division" but also heralds a new era of innovation as the inaugural masterpiece from the in-house design team.

🏗 Crafted in the hallowed halls of Solihull, the SD1 laid the foundation for the iconic Rover 800 in 1986, a testament to its enduring legacy. Meanwhile, the revered Rover V8 engine continued to roar with power until 2003, a symbol of uncompromising performance.

🚘 But the SD1's story transcends the showroom floor, igniting the passions of motorsport enthusiasts with its dominance in Group A touring car racing during the mid-1980s. From the thrilling victories at the RAC Tourist Trophy to the prestigious British Saloon Car Championship, the SD1 left an indelible mark on the racing circuit.

👨‍✈️ Beyond the racetrack, the SD1 emerged as the ultimate symbol of authority, serving as the vehicle of choice for UK police forces during the tumultuous decades of the 1970s and 1980s. From bustling city streets to expansive motorways, the SD1 stood as a guardian of law and order, commanding respect with its unparalleled presence.

2024 BMW X5 M60i

If you have the cash, BMW has the sporty luxury SUV for you. In fact they have several!

New X5’s price shocks, but so does power, handling … Let’s just say I’m suffering from sticker shock thanks to BMW’s new X5 M60i. I thought I’d gotten over such maladies after driving several SUVs in the past year eclipsing $100 grand. But those were all full-size (often 3-row) SUVS, including BMW’s exceptional X7. That one started at $105,000 and ended up at $114,000. Well, this standard size…

Marcos Mantula 

Introduced in 1984, the Marcos Mantula was the result of the company’s continuous pursuit of the perfect British sports car. The Mantula replaced the previous model, the Marcos GT, and was available in both coupe and convertible body styles over its production run.The car’s classic Marcos styling, including its long bonnet, low-slung body, and sleek lines, was designed for optimal aerodynamics and shared a lot with the earlier GT model.

The Mantula was powered by a Rover V8 engine, which was known for its low-weight and high-tunability. This 3.5 liter engine produced 190 horsepower and 220 lb ft of torque, propelling the lightweight sports car from 0-62 mph in just 5.5 seconds.

With a top speed of 140 mph, the Mantula was more than capable of holding its own against its competitors, and later in the 1980s it would receive the more powerful 3.9 liter fuel injected version of the V8. Most examples of the Mantula were sold as kit cars in Britain, approximately 140 kits were bought over the production run.

There were a number of changes introduced to the car over the course of its nine year 1984 – 1993 production, a convertible version was offered from 1986 onwards, and the Rover V8 was upgraded to the 3.9 liter unit in the late 1980s. Independent rear suspension would also become standard from 1986 onwards, based on components from the Ford Granada.

In 1993 Marcos Engineering made the fateful decision to no longer offer kit cars, switching to a line of full factory-built production cars as Lotus had done in the early 1970s. The company would then be competing more directly with British sports car makers like TVR, Morgan, and Lotus – for better or worse.
