Is an old Rover reasonably attainable...? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiZIU54WYxw

I’ll wager that’s a Meteor rather than a Merlin.

Merlins were the supercharged aero engines. Meteors were the NA tank engine, and most were made by Rover. RR swapped jet engines which had ended up with Rover as a project for the Tank engine contract.

I know. I was alluding to Rover also making the Derwent jet engines in Meteors.
