I remember a quote by Peter Wheeler on the TOP GEAR special of TVR, he said,"I'm not having anything German in my cars". So I would say no.

I think PW was making a reference to German females, not well-engineered motor parts.

I've just had a vision of Pete Wheeler grappling a well engineered German woman in the front of one of his motors.........Or maybe she was helping him release his handbrake......the mind boggles.

Who owns the rights the the Rover V8 engine these days? Is it BMW, MG or Ford?

[Saturn 5]

BMW, thats what I meant to say earlier.

It's a Buick (originally). Just because they own the rights doesn't make it a BMW engine. They have their own (quite good I am lead to believe) V8. Sparks
