The Rover V8 was the biggest surprise for me, but then I don’t know much at all about engines!An interesting read and like most I've had a few.
Will Autocar be doing an article on brushless motors in the future ?

My first car was exactly that! 1.2 Opel Kadett! 7th Proud owner with 107K on it when I got it as a student. WWW105S - Happy days until it got totalled by an OAP reversing an FSO Polski Fiat into me on the motorway. He'd missed the exit sign so was reversing back to have another look......Interesting to see the Yanks still using V8s from the dark ages
But this Opel is still high on my itch to scratch list had a standard 1200s which we fitted a 1.9 carb engine but a real GT/E is what I want

Oh no don't bring me to his attention, besides I thought Shove its were his thing
Steady! The Chevette and Kadett share a lot of parts. Interestingly the Getrag 5 speed box in the HS has the BMW logo casted in it. For the nerds out there, the Jensen Healy series 2 had the same box. Tbf, it’s a waste of time: like the 4 speed it had virtually the same 1st gear ratio, and both had a direct drive top gear (20mph/1000rpm). This meant that you had to change gear more often to go at the same speed. I guess it made you feel like you were going faster.Oh no don't bring me to his attention, besides I thought Shove its were his thing
