Yaltarric Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Hey guys, A friend of mine have a broken Rover V8 with carb's and is looking for a new one (I think he's looking for a rebuild one but I'm happy for any advixe in this topic). His engine is totaly broken with bend rod's and holes in the engine block... Are there any recommendations for a rebuilder or a place where I can get an Rover V8? Unfortunately here in germany it is nearly impossible to get one. Greetings Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Hi, if you have a decent budget you could contact J E Developments, the owner worked on the development of the Buik engine that became the Rover V8, he has new old stock and a large stock of parts. johnealesroverv8.co.uk J E Developments Claybrooke Mill Frolesworth Lane, Claybrooke Magna, Lutterworth LE17 5DB · 71 mi 01455 202909 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yaltarric Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 Does anybody know these guy? He prefers a engine rebuilder in europe because of tax, warranty etc. In terms of price they are relativily similar to each other with all the additional costs. https://www.klassieke-auto-onderdelen.nl/products/rover-v8-3-5-motor-blok-revisie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinten Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 They've got a physical shop that you can actually visit and see on Google streetview, but other than that, I've not been able to find any reviews of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaltarric Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 That's the reason I'm asking. I think it's nearly impossible nowadays to not find even a single review about a company^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
