Question Mysterious PRV V6 - needs identification

Hi - I drive an Amazon normally, but I've ventured into slightly unknown territory - and it's making me nervous....

I have this engine pictured - I have been told it's a PRV V6 petrol engine.. and that's it. I believe these were used in the 760

I've no idea what the capacity is, what it's nomenclature is, let alone get parts for it.

Can anyone help? I think it was made in 1984/ 1985 and its got a leaking head I need fix..

Thanks

Baz

Yes, It looks like it might be a Marine version with the plug leads protected in metal tubes, 2664 cc about 140 bhp so nothing too exciting..

Does look like a penta version to me. Gaskets are available no problem but other parts are harder to find
