27 litre V12 Rover SD1!!

[anonymous-user]

Just browsed a copy of Practical Performance Car magazine as the cover car was a 6 litre V12 Mercedes engined Cobra, thought that was a bit mental then noticed the feature on the Rover with a tank engine in it, British engineering lunacy at its best. Bloody quick too.
Anybody on here know of other workshop mentalism??

Pretty sure the owner of that Rover is a PH'er.

I think he or the other guy were on here around the time of the 'track focussed' Shadow.
Saw it and the Rover running at GW FoS a few years ago.

Contradictory, non?

Hats off for engineering such lunacy, but practical?

PPC seems to be off course a little IMHO.

Pretty sure there was a build thread for the Rover on here a while ago.

ETA: Here you go, I assume it's this one: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Depends how you define practical. It's arguably more usable to go to the shops in than a Ferrari...
