Kevin,
It's an 1967 88" SWB that originally had a 2.25L gas engine. I got a 2.5L Rover diesel from a guy in the Rover club. Without the an OD I could do 55 but it was close to deafening in the cab. I eventually got a new Fairey OD from my dad and that helped a lot. I can cruise down the highway at 65 MPH without hearing loss and average 25 mpg. Yes, anything over 65 and the handling is scarey.

So what do you do when it's so cold out your fuel gels? Smear some on toast and have another cup of coffee until it warms up outside.
