As I understand it, within 2 weeks of the BMW takeover of Rover, the BMW =
management asked to meet Morgans to express their hope that Morgans =
would continue to take Rover engines, and to offer to supply.
The Rover 3.9 engine, of course, started as a Buick block powering a =
Sherman tank, one each side. A classic example of technology evolving =
rather than doing step-function change.

Since BMW purchased Land Rover and Morgan uses V8's from Land Rover, =
what V8
engine will Morgan use in the future in its Plus 8's? Will Land Rover
continue its V8, or will it use BMW engine and in turn will Morgan use a =
BMW
engine? Does anybody know?
