"They may NOT have produced any 4x4's with 205 blocks but COULD 4x4 be feasible without L8, 200 block and knock sensor etc etc? All hypothetical of course, we like 'debate' on PF."

"So, is it possible, if unlikely? Just unreported on any having been found by any tuners, experts, garages, breakers, enthusiasts, backyard builders or clairvoyants etc as being found to exist - needle haystack for this pruported hypothetical factory build?"

thats true (jtech) just looking along the lines that they used a different block for the rally scene ie rs500 that they did in there road going version.if you see where i am coming from rally versions are under more stress of course.

they couldnt use different blocks, they had to be in a production car...

exactly why they ever made the rs500....so it was a production car, and had the strong bits.....

500being the least ammount they could make, and claim as a production car,

The RS500 shared its block with its race counter parts...it was the whole point of the RS500 existance.

zo: yes you do have to hear about my perversions...it satisfy's me greatly to know you know Shame they never came true tho...my teacher was damn fine bet she's old and saggy now

Of course, they had to make 500 'RS500's' for homogolation

they couldnt use different blocks, they had to be in a production car...
Thats why I asked:-

how many 4x4's were produced? 12k? IIRC they had to do 2,500 homogolation (or was it 5k?) so could some of the other 9,500 that were produced differ slightly?
As is it a possibility?

Ah sod it, cossie604, lets have some more of your perversions, I'm not one of the PF incrowd, no-ones ever going to answer me

Mechanic28, now you've thrown a spanner in the works

Along with numerous runarounds.

Add to this 19yrs working in garages from a DeTomaso specialists where I served my apprentiship from the age of 12 working saturday mornings up until the ago of 20 when I then moved on thru numerous independants inc a small garage that did alot of 1960's restoration work Along with being in the posistion of forman at three of them Ive also been an mot tester for the past 9yrs. Now on my second main dealership as its easy work...had enuff of working with rusty crap such as 80's Rover's.

One of the Rover production line workers even said they made rubbish cars in the 80's during an interview for a news channel during the period of the closure of the company
