Back in the seventies the 'rozzers' were fond of the Triumph 2.5 PI along with the Rover 3500V8 (the same body as the 2000/2200)

Back in my youth I was chased by both.

P6,nice

.

My Brother had a P6 3500 V8 , lunar grey with the spare wheel mounted on the boot was a lovely car, I used it a couple of times sounded very nice.

My brother also owned one.

Either 1969 or 1970, it  was 'H' registration. I remember being disappointed that it didn't come with a rev counter. Just a strip speedo.

Back in the day it seemed very potent.

A friend of mine who lives in Connecticut has a V8 P6 and shipped it over to the  US.

When he went to pick it up from the docks, he overheard a dock worker telling his mate that apparently that little car has a V8 in it!

Mate of mine shipped a V8 MGB GT back from New Zealand 2 years ago to date it has cost him a total of £28,000 , it looks great & sounds awesome but you feel very vunerable hurtling along in it !

The name Costello comes to mind.

I believe Costello were first to come up with the idea of putting the V8 into the MGB and indeed produced some before BL[or whatever they were calling themselves that day]decided to productionize it themselves.

Mate had one when I had the standard MGB roadster ... he carried the obligatory bag of cement in the boot to counteract the grossly overweight front end !! Went very well in a straight line, but any attempts to corner at any sort of speed were fraught with danger, the front would do its own thing at a moments notice...

The MGC was the one with a cast iron straight 6 Leyland lorry engine at the front.

The aluminium block Rover V8 doesn't weigh any more than the 4 cylinder B series engine
