What a find. I think those have a 3909cc Roller engine.

[barrett]

@ashmicro - yeh they do, roller engine in a westminster body essentially. never liked the styling of the front end but i'd still love one.@bones - yeh mine too, i can hear every match from my bloody house. mainly boos cos they keep getting themselves sent off!

Absolutely superb, real luxury for wafting around in. Yes the R is for the Rolls engine, a development of the FB60 military engine

i saw the brighton one today sticking out of it's garage, but it was a bit too far away to get a pic, i'll try again soon.

beautiful ol' bit of british design and engineering

I've actually seen that a couple of times before when visiting family. Great catch!

Nice spot, I think given the choice I'd rather have the Austin princess 3 litre variation though!

[barrett]

i'd prefer an austin 3-litre (the landcrab shaped one) myself.... much shiter and a better shape IMHO

Don't think I've ever seen a 3 Litre on the street, but seen a few at shows e.g. :-http://tiny.homelinux.com/gallery2/main ... temId=5207and there's a few here :-http://www.flickr.com/groups/landcrab-and-maxi/Wonder if the 4 Litre's extra litre gives it the edge though?

[barrett]

not sure if i've ever seen one either, but i've had the horn for them since Buckley from C&SC ran one as a daily a few years back. i seem to remember seeing them with rectangular headlights which looked really smart, but thinking about it that was probably just the prototype.

Very nice! There used to be one that lived not far from me. Disappeared a few years ago but was in too good nick to have been scrapped/raced so presumably just moved elsewhere.
