Re: Classic cars
Rover bonnet looks 2200 from the photo, the 3500 V8 is a lovely engine.
But the Triumph 2.5pi was a very smooth machine, my dad had one of those for a while and it seemed so smooth but rusted like hell.

Re: Classic cars
well spotted the v8 had two bulges in the bonnet to clear the heads, if I remember correctly the bonnet was made of aluminium and the front wings bolted on.92kk k100lt 193214 wrote:Rover bonnet looks 2200 from the photo, the 3500 V8 is a lovely engine.

Re: Classic cars
I've had quite a few VW splitscreens over the years, always been a good scene and investment. Thought I sold out at the top about 5 years ago, but making really stupid money now IMHO.
