and I think there were Datsun 240z turbo kits at one point, which must have been epic I have one of those kits, I am probably not going to use it any more as I have long since put the Z on back burner (will be going into storage in a few weeks for 2-3 years) and have a 2JZ in waiting instead of my N54/54 L28. The design is veeeery much of its time, also have quite a lot of adverts for the different kits, I'll dig out the photos later on, from memory its a rotomaster turbo with carbon seals, because it's a carb draw through system rather than traditional blow through. Has a bloody massive SU on it.

One of them is mine - Not the unused one - I also have a selection of the Large bore Janspeed versions and Large bore combined amongst others. They are all fojr the Hillman Imp engine. Brilliant! I've a feeling that you can still get the Imp/Chamois bits made but not sure Didn't Maniflow down the road in Salisbury buy up the patterns for the Janspeed exhausts? Pretty sure it's Maniflow making the Imp exhausts to order these days.

Great find! That will be super rare! They did plenty of the Rover V8's with turbo conversions but thought they were mostly SD1's, didn't know they did the Range Rover. It's not a 2 door or anything, but given the current market ~£22,500 for a decent condition rrc, with the added janspeed curio and decent history, seem rlfairly reasonable to my eyes?

Yeah so Maniflow did buy a bunch of jigs and I've a feeling that the Imp/Chamois was amongst them, also I think plenty of Mini bits and MG as well.

I'd agree, it's the oldschool Janspeed decal on the back that sells it to me, but then I'm easily pleased haha

I had Janspeed manifold fitted to a XR3i (1985), it was fitted to a company car. Sounded good but was a bit tiring over long distances and fell to bits after a couple of years.
