Came across this sun faded import from Oklahoma on one of my long walks.

Pretty cool, never heard of them but is it from the 60s?

Started in the early seventies the V8,a Buick 215 derivative and the S designation meant it was with a manual gearbox.
The engine was also used in the TR8 also which was a success in the States and known as the English Corvette.

Yeah that's nothing but problems, keep on walking.......

^ Woah...think your getting it mixed up with the Stag 2.5 V8, a lot of those were replaced with the far more reliable Rover V8.

It says Rover on the back right? Trouble.
