sierraman Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Look at how high the expansion tank is in the 6R4. Mounted near the roof, must have had to put it there because it was a bigger to bleed, can't see otherwise why you'd put it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and battery under the passenger seat too for added sparks in a roll over !Not just military , on all Series 1s you have to take out the driver's seat cushion and lift a flap to access the tank. So you have a thin sheet of Birmabright + a layer of Plywood + a bit of foam between you and th e tank, positively 5 star safety rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hooli Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I believe they are still 6R4s, but in 'Clubman' spec they come with a Rover V8 not the 'half a XJ220' V6. groovylee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy18s Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 They never came with a v8,only the v6 which had different states of tune to differentiate between clubman and international If it's a v8 fitted it's probably for cost issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadworkUK Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I got a few action shots at the rally stage, which was incidentally my highlight of the show. Adding them here seems appropriate. It was an honour to be showered in dust and grit and, in some cases, BFO rocks by such fine conveyances face and groovylee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Snipes Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 RS200 looks like it was designed to have pop-up headlights but someone changed their mind at the last moment- I never noticed that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
