I would love to know if any of the prototype twin-cam, 16-valve 2200 engines still exist anywhere. James Taylor's book says five or six were built, and the one fitted with Bosch L-jetronic injection made 170bhp. It was the last new all-Rover engine developed by the original Rover company.
I don't remember now where i have found these photos, but the location should be Gaydon Heritage Motor Centre.
The block is very recognisable, even without the side plates, as is the water pump, oil pump arrangement and the sump.
It is clearly a very close relative to our engines.
