Nope, a Rover.

They changed to Rover around 1988

Any rust issues? Or had it sorted out for rust? You fitting the B18 yourself or getting a shop to do it for you? Quite interested in knowing the costs for getting it done, it sounds like a really appealing project.

Theres surface rust.
No unseen issues (yet).

I will be trying to do as much of the work as possible myself.
There's lots of info online about different engine conversions and costs associated with doing them

I don't know what the next significant number could be

My only thought is 13579 miles, 246.8 trip counter but i think that's trying too hard for not so amazing result
