THE POWERFUL BEAST

A commanding of bits “n” pieces from the Range Rover Empire, stirred together it might be wonderful or it might be desperately bad. Start up, and enjoy the quintessentially okay. Getting up to a decent cruising speed is fuss free and there’s plenty of clear space around us normal traffic keeps a wary distance from this thing.
What’s most staggering is the Westlake headed six on 900x16 tyres, it pulled away from 500rpm in fourth gear and uphill if, you can believe that. If the bottom end power is incredible, so is the midrange and it comes in much faster. This is pure torque, and it takes a while getting used to it.
This engine came from a Rover p5 MKII coupe a top executive’s car in its day. And that’s exactly the way it feels, delivering barely raise an eyebrow and I’m past you power. That’s very seductive. A couple of times around the block isn’t enough I’d like to get this on a dual carriageway and nail it. And that’s not a thing you often say about a Series Land Rover, is it
