The original press release for the "Leyland Eight Group Experimental" car - including ten original photos - can be found here: www.britishv8.org/Articles/Leyland-Eight-GE-Release.htmHere's a preview: p.s. Doesn't it look like it should have been "amphibious"!?! IMHO, it was pretty hideous and embarrassing in terms of styling, but it showed off some nifty ideas and besides its main purpose was to help Rover announce their great "new" (ex Buick) aluminum V8 engine. The problem was, Leyland management (this was immediately after the merger!) was too selfish and small-minded to let this car be announced with the "Rover" badge on it, even though the car was clearly and distinctively a Rover project.
