I had the alloy version in my Lotus Elite and it too was a dissappointment, from a dull memory the same engine was used in the DeLorian.... The block in my Lotus was porus to the extent that antifreeze would creat beads of presperation on it`s side.

The Americanisation of the MGB was not too bad but the Jensen was not at all pleasing to me..

thanks Luddite. The Delorean used a 2.8 V6 PRV motor that was fitted in many Volvos, Peugeots, Lancias & Renault (and others)
It sure was not noted (in smog format) as a performance engine.
