Hello

Post by Greeny »

Hello I am new to the forum and like the look so my name is Dave and I have a rover V8 reliant scimitar coupe

Image

You could say I have issues as at the moment I have 3 other scimitars 4 total 2 V6's and a 4cvh.

At the moment I am fitting an Edelbrock 500cfm performer carb and inlet.
The car has near straight through pipes and a fast road cam but has cast exhaust manifolds.
I have had the car for just over 12 months but have known of the car for 12/14 years and wanted it for all that time. In its time it's been in practical classics and other publications and it's sister car a scimitar sabre is the worlds fasted furniture (the table and chairs) both cars were originally modified by the same guy Colin Watson.

So that's me and my V8. :D

I drove the car back to Cheshire from Bristol not knowing it had covered less than 50 miles a year in the last 8 years! And the front tyres were lets say way past their best!!! :shock:
