Part 2 - A good look underneath Charlie Broomfield's 27-litre V12 Rover SD1 

thats a mental rover , mans a genius

That lift is next level.. awesome

Awesome workshop love the lift and lifting roof

The Man deserves an Award

Engineering to be admired

Thanks for your time Charlie.

This was an amazing amount of engineering gone in to this always enjoyed reading about it

What a carracter!

the engineering in this car is just bonkers but I love it

I love Charlie he comes across as a genuine friendly guy but deep down inside there's a devil developing and engineering this insane car, i love it. ❤️👍👍👍

Hell of a project .. not sure about the old forklift mast hoist …😬🤔 health and safety would have kittens 😂😂

GLORIOUS.

tbh this must have been a head wrecker too build , but he built it wow fantastic

I remember Charlie from when he helped Will Holman build his 560 Powered Mercedes 280.

An inspiration to car conversion movement. The John Dodd car is back in the UK now after Mr Dodd sadly passed away.

Love your perseverance, have you considered a sprag clutch to allow the blower to over run. It may reduce backlash stresses on the gears during shutdown? Cheers Les

No mention of the step-up gearbox?

And why not drive it at 200 mph on a runway? Love it. 👍

Englishman known for building an SD 1 with a rolls royce merlin V 12 engine has passed away today, crushed when the car slid off his lift….. Is something I really hope i never see as a headline … Good grief that lift scares me to death

I would be sooo proud to call my business "Inpregnation Solutions".

Put the band back together- PPC version 2, Rise of the Phoenix!

Part 3 part 3 part 3

All that copper and galv plumbing pipework..very steam punk

I swear officer its STOCK 🤣

I thought that noise was the car spooling up to start a jet engine under the bonnet.....my dissapointment verges on suicidal😭

Part 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this car, I'm guessing here but the MOT bust be a laugh. I bet when you turn up in this the MOT inspector is probably scratching his head a lot.

any vids of it running been looking

That lift looks well sketchy, I wouldn't go underneath without solid props under the fork's!

A lot of the aftermarket aluminium radiators aren't good from either heat rejection or robustness.

A good alloy rad will outperform copper/brass and be a LOT lighter. These 3" thick things they sell though are not great. I had one,, went to a factory Holden rad about an inch thick and no more problems. Modern cars with a/c and other coolers dont have issues hence my reverting to OEM. Mind you it is a V8 Holden rad in a 500hp V8 Ford!. I also have the same rad inmy 71 Ford Galaxie and that is 400ci with a.c and a big transcooler. 2 ton car. Yes I know it is just a lightweight as the Meteor is nearly that weight!! As for this car?? Bloody hell it is different. Over engineered and heavy. But nothing will break. Steering is bit average though the system is the same as many 4 wds. And then it seems a TH400 and a Ford Commercial diff. Though I suspect you have to be gentle on them as for the torque will smash both of them.

Lol 27 litre v12, economy.

so after all that an hour and a hlafs worth of video thats it.... you dont get to hear the engine? thats literally the only reason i clicked in ti in the first place...

XK8 Breaks good. Got it!

Your rear coilover shocks look like they're leaking and low quality maybe that's why you don't like them
