I was chucking some scrap metal into the landlords skip today and this was lying in it……
A good old Rover V8!
Apparently there's nothing wrong with it but the landlord was having a clear out and it ended up in the skip.
Thinking that's too good to be in there I fetched it out and now plan to build a top gear style coffee table from the block.
Unless someone's got a better suggestion? I welcome your ideas!

Really nice find that mate!
But a table?
I'm sure there's a rover owner somewhere who see's that in his dreams every night!

Stripped it tonight.
It was the dirtiest engine i've ever stripped!
According to the engine number it came from an SD1.

Coffee table gets my vote unless of course there's demand for it out there……
