Duh, sorry, too early in the year. I was racking my brains for ages
trying to think of a V8 Triumph!! :-)

There's also the Westfield SEight - a Lotus 7 copy with V8 power. Brown
trousers come as standard! :-) People have also fitted V8s into Triumph
Stags, but that's frowned upon by the purists.

A good book, I've got a copy on my shelves. He did a companion volume
called Tuning Rover V8 Engines, which you may be interested in. Also
essential to MG fans is David Knowles definitive MG V8 Twenty One Years
On.
