The V8 Owners Forum -

New to the forum. Have been reading for a little bit. We run a shop over in the states that deals with Triumph TR8 & TR7's. We focus mainly on performance, but do carry a full line of OEM items.

We have been modifying Rover V8's for over 20 years and have built many race and street motors from 3.5's to 5.0's. This is our shop car runs consistent 12.5's on street tires with a best of 12.4. It is a street car that we drive to many shows around the country.

Thanks
