Aga - As Keith has said, the Buick derived Rover V8 would have needed much further development to get it to comply with current emmision legislation and this has led me to wonder how kit car builders are still able to use this engine in vehicles which need to be registered as new on a 'Q' plate - perhaps someone has the answer?..........

....presumably the emmisions legislation is different for the SVA to that under Type Approval, which would seem a little odd.
