Just keep the 260 motor as it is, as long as it's a tourer

It was dead at birth. Alas other organs are failing too so I spend months on end in hospital. But, I still love cars.

I have to say if I won the Lotto it would be a V8 Rangie or better still a V8 Conti. or both.

As for the 75 well I'm happy with the engine it has ( both the diesel and the V6 ) but I think I would give one of them a good paint job and re furbish every component just to remind me of former times

probably the best 4.0 v8 in the world. correction. it is the best.
I have to disagree, just looked at the best engine awards and it isn't mentioned, anywhere. I will stick with the S65B40.

Default Lotto

I guess I am bending the conversation away from the Clarkson POWERRRR thread, but if I won serious money in the lottery, I would be commissioning a recreation of the R75 Coupe
