Tuned Mustang V8 engine, anyone?
Discussion
Here's an extract from the austin-rover.co.uk web site. Sounds like it has interesting project possibilities...
"FOR many enthusiasts, the MG ZT 260 V8 was the ultimate MG Rover product - as discreet or as loud as you specified it, eminently tuneable, and driven by the right wheels for a performance saloon. However, the problem for petrolheads with a love of V8 engines and less-than deep pockets, it wasn't cheap to buy or run... even after the closure of MG Rover, and PriceWaterhouseCooper's subsequent fire sale.
A solution may be on hand, though - for all those hands on engineers who fancy themselves for a little knock-up work. An end-of-life Rover 75 and an email address is all you need (please note, though, some self-assembly and adult supervision will be required).
Yes, the remnants of Longbridge's follies are still rising to the surface three years on. What would Sir like? A 385bhp supercharged Mustang V8? RRP £14000 from Phoenix; our price £3525. Too powerful for your mother to go shopping in? Buy the normally aspirated version for a mere £2173 then. Or you could pay £3407 and get the subframe, suspension and dinner plate brake discs (£1703 for the matching rear subframe and differential) in a ready-to-fit package."
There are also discounts for bulk orders of ten units or more. Yes really...
If you're interested, then email the guys at soarer.uk@ntlworld.com for more information, and thank Steve Hole from www.totalkitcar.com for the tip-off.
