I thought British leyland/lucas was a tar pit

Till I owned three ranger rovers

110 series....great but rough rough

Classic....two of them

Beautiful but junk and pricey to fix

Disco... better but still crap

My dad had several xj12. Models

Gorgeous crap

I owned three older 911s one...a 99 I still have

Not junk

Fast

Handles and reliable

Brits are lucky we entered both great wars

That 99 is my wife’s and it will do 179 as claimed

In regular life I drive pickups from my business and SUVs I rent

I’m in a hertz traverse ltz loaded right now in point clear alabama with fam

A sturdy medium suv

Wish it had four wheel with LD

IN a perfect world I’d have a nice 68/69 road runner or similar

Yes, I agree, always thought that an AC-Delco upgrade was a major improvement to any UK vehicle. Thought you might like the MG V6 swap.

I also am a VW/Porsche fan, used to work on them and babysat a couple...easy to get into trouble just sitting in a Porsche.

In a car that can break the speed limit in second gear...well.
