Blimey, a Marina van! I used to own an Ital van and it was great but rotted away badly. You could set off in 4th Gear (Top gear) on the flat and it was away, no need to change gears. I went all over the place in that van. That flare side/step side body looks superb. A lot of work gone onto that chassis. This will be an interesting series to watch young man.

Looks great, though I can't help feeling a 200tdi would be a better engine choice, lighter and considerably more powerful than the 2 1/4.

Thanks! We did test fit a 200tdi but the timing case sticking out means the inner arches would need substantial modifications also the owner wants to keep it as period correct as possible. Rover did make a limited number of P4's with 2 1/4 diesel and I doubt it will be doing heavy miles it'll me more of a show car. 🙂👍

@@retro.restorations fair enough 👍 I know two guys that have done it and it's worth the extra work, but if it's a show motor I'm sure it'll be fine.

If we find it to be too slow with the old boat anchor known as a 2 1/4 engine the 200tdi is still an option. 🙂👍
