Landrover are said to be working on a sports car of all things, hardly a
surprise as if any comany stands still for long it's going to be the death
of it. From my source I understand that recent suggestions of the use of the
Puma engine weren't far off the mark. Now they are dipping into the Ford
Probe parts bin, although from this photo I fing it hard to work out which
are the ford bits.....

I asked my wife if we could modify her Probe. She wasn't impressed.
