Yup, the land rover 2.6L was a detuned Rover 3.0L car unit. THe rover engine is a straight drop in conversion if you can find one, and is probably a better engines in many respects.

Local copers knew my mum's car.
Was quite common for them to pull her over after picking us young ones up with
"Afternoon mrs Newman running a little late today arn't you?"
Followed with Slow down.
