92 Rover 420GSi 140bhp but probably more as the head was skimmed heavily

As i say, not complete as i'm sure there are cars i've missed, at times of multiple ownership of cars i've had ~500-550bhp sat out the front so no point adding up the total bhp as it would be silly!

What a list!!!!! This will take some beating.
