What a magnificent engine the Rover V8 has proved to be! American at heart, but thoroughly British in pedigree, it boasts an amazingly diverse and illustrious inventory of achievements, on-road. off-road and on the race track. This exhaustive study of the Rover V8 has now been brought fully up to date. Although some important new historical information is included, the additional material concentrates primarily on the changes and improvements to the engine that have taken place in recent years. These developments range from the factory 3.9 litre engine unveiled in late 1989, to the all-new Range Rover of 1994 powered by two versions of the completely redeveloped Rover V8, which could well prove to be the final chapter in the engine's story. However, production of this exceptionally versatile engine is assured for many years to come. David Hardcastle works in the airfreight industry but has a great interest in all things automotive, in particular drag and sports car racing and American cars. This led to his interest in the Rover V8. resulting in him writing this bestselling book. He continues to research and investigate all matters relating to this highly successful engine and. in addition to this new edition, he has also produced a companion volume, Tuning the Rover V8 Engine.(Long since Out Of Print as well)
