I think Jules might also know of a 75 V8 for sale! And there is still that other one on car and classic for £5.5k.

Problem with S/C an autobox car is the mapping and getting the shiftpoints right.
Bingo. ive experience of two Rover 75 V8's on rolling roads now, and the cars just will not engage 4th gear on the rollers in any circumstance.

I'm local to SMG & i'm surprised that they sell anything to be honest.

I've seen the V8 & according to the salesman, the owner of SMG doesn't want to sell it !
