Title: New arrival
Post by: thermidorthelobster on December 27, 2008, 21:37:42

In a week or so we should have a new V8 joining the two diesels on the driveway...

But it's not a Land Rover.

British built, 4.2V8, I'll let you guess.  Clue:  unlike BTM's ours isn't supercharged.  But still 0-60 in 6.2s.

I think that about exhausts the potential list of British 4.2 V8s.  AJWB was right, except it's the soft-top version.

More or less this but without the numberplate and with different wheels.

Looking forward to picking it up!
