Yesterday I explained how Jaguar resisted fitting its cars with the lightweight aluminium alloy V8 engine from its British Leyland stablemate Rover. But there was another car in the Leyland empire that would probably have benefited from getting the Rover 3.5-litre V8. The stylish Triumph Stag used Triumph’s own 3-litre V8, which developed a reputation for unreliability but Leyland never made the swap. Car snapped at the British Motor Museum in 2023.
