From time to time I see some rare or just downright strange cars,  so I thought from now on I will take photos and post them ...

Tomcat would be too early for the k's which emerged 2001 ish.
K's finally spin the correct way, it was the older's B's D's and H's that spin the wrong. Logger may know, but I think the S2000's F20C spins the correct way too.

Yeah I walk/ride/drive past Frasers on my way to my missus'. and F20C would be perfect in a Fraser...

Rover had their own K Series motosr - it went into Honda based Rover 200 and 400's. Was bloody good motor - Caterham was using it at one stage, I think Morgan as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-series

The Tomcat, a 200 coupe had a differnet Rover engine. 2 litre turbo. I had then same motor in my Rover 600 (Accord in diguise). A nice car but cost a fortune in repairs and maintenance Sad

Both these engines were Rover born and breed. I don't remember them being used in Hondas (except rovers with Honda badges on them), although many Rovers did also use Honda motors.
