Really ? Where in Parkers ? Biggest standard engine in defender was 4.0 v8
Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?
The question was "was that capacity of V8 something that had been available in a Range Rover?". So the answer was "Yes".

Seems terrible now but I helped my friend chop one up in the ‘90’s to put the engine and trans in a Vauxhall Firenza! I preferred the Vitesse to the Firenza even then!

British Leyland's stretched Ferrari Daytona. Great looking cars.

First car I ever drove. It was only round and round a field. But then again I was only 15 at the time.
I saw one of these (Polestar 2) in a car park in Warminster the other day. Got talking to the owner who absolutely loved it. He regularly does Warminster to Braintree in in for work which is just within the 200 mile worst-case range. 0-60 in 4.6. Not too shabby

Think I followed one of those the other day, had no idea what it was, had weird star emblem on the boot, only saw it from behind, caught my attention because of the rear lights

Yup, that's the one. The rear lights are quite distinctive. Interesting car.

No idea... there is was, on my way to have my morning coffee earlier today. I guess it's a thing... never seen one of those before.
That's quiet a pole
