Cheers Marc, that's what I meant.
Roadster content - there should be yet more roadster stuff in the next
Grassroots Motorsports mag.

PS. This is getting very OT but one of the best cars I had in my teens (apart
from the Jags) was a Rover 3.5 coupe - it had a Buick-derived V8 (215ci) but
higher compression ratio and SU carbs instead of the twin or 4 barrel
Rochester. So, if Rover did it, I guess any transplant of a US motor into a
Brit car is OK ... but apart from the Rover you probably won't see one on my
driveway.
