Interesting stuff about the T Series from Wiki...Wiki....
The non-turbo T series engine also found its way into the short-lived and generally underpowered Land Rover Discovery 2.0i.
Land Rover also fitted the same engine to a special batch of Defenders built for the Italian Carabinieri, which operated an exclusively petrol-powered vehicle fleet. A development vehicle was also built using a turbocharged version of the engine which far out performed the V8 production cars, but no room could be found for it in Land Rover's vehicle strategy.
Can you imagine a Turbo T in the +4??
I also discovered that the T was a development of the DOHC M-Series (M16), which was in turn a development of the SOHC O-Series, which in turn had its origins in the pushrod BMC B-Series engine!!
