But thats not enough to write everyone else`s involvement out of the history books, is it? You can`t say that a V8 would never have found it`s way into the Ace, either; for example, the Buick motor that was taken by Rover was, I believe, a possibility for consideration in 61/62.

And of course, those forgotten Healeys, MGs & Triumphs (very much in evidence at everyclassic car show you may care to attend) aren`t SO forgotten if you remember them too...
