the only v8 i've ever owned (kgl), next to my relly's one that convinced me i needed one in my life , even after suffering total brake failure on a steep country hairpin when driving his. wish i still had it the way values have gone!
sadly not a pic of my old thing , though i do have a couple of prints "somewhere" , a glorious V6 wrapped in a wonderful car. mine was an absolutely identical vitesse barring it having half leather.
not even sure i have any pictures now of my old 2.3L...but it was exactly the same as this..well apart from all the rust holes , spot lights and range rover bull bar... and no , that's not a typo! well i was given one and it was a bit too crusty to adorn my rangie so i though , "why not"?
A 1.5 litre V16 engine designed more than 7 decades ago producing 550bhp at 12,000rpm! There was talk of a record attempt, Rolls-Royce were confident they could pull 1,000bhp out of the engine with ". . . all the goodies and sprint fuel."

Sensible, there were far too many bulls wandering the highways in the 80's! A charge nurse I worked with had one in the same colour and same engine but his had a big dark bloom on the bonnet from a carburettor fire.
