    I think it was the 1990 model year in the UK.

    1970 to 1989. The MY 90 was the first of the 3.9 variant.

    From good old Wikipedia Range Rover - Wikipedia

    " Originally, the Range Rover was fitted with a detuned 130 hp (97 kW) version of the Buick-derived Rover V8 engine. In 1984, the engine was fitted with Lucas fuel injection, boosting power to 155 hp (116 kW). The 3.5-litre (3,528 cc) engine was bored out to a displacement of 3.9 litres (3,947 cc) for the 1990 model year, and 4.2-litre (4,215 cc) in 1992 (1993 model year) for the 108-inch Long Wheelbase Vogue LSE (County LWB [long wheelbase] in North America). "

    Certainly did. The series 111 P5 got the v8 in the last year/s of production. IIRC the "B" in P5B (and P6B ) alludes to the Buick heritage of the motor.

    Correct, the 3.5 went from carby to flapper style EFI mid 86, then onto the 3.9 in 90
