I mentioned this a short while ago. Its a 27 litre Rolls Royce Meteor engine taken from a merlin tank. They also used these in spitifires, except supercharged i believe.

This one has ben fitted into a car, which is a Rover SD1

None of the "brandow-links works...

I know that Jay Leno is supposed to have a RR Phantom with a Merlin V12 engine. (not the hot rod with tank engine) Years ago I also read about another RR-inspired car with a Merlin engine. It was supposed to have around 1000hkr... And the sound it made was reported to be fantastic!!! Doeas anyone have any info of either car?

this URL give some info on the latter car: http://www.carsfortheconnoisseur.com...4/nov2004.html
