    Thank you! never realised the old V8 was such a top piece.....

    I thought he was probably going to run out of juice, given its drinking problem........


    The local auto leccy (a 60+ yo former South African) shakes his head in total disbelief whenever an SD1 turns up at his shed.....

    But he does like Landys! (The sentimental African connection).

    Great engine and sad to see it die an unfortunate death, but life goes on

    Still the best sounding V8 IMO
