The engine designation was V64V, as in V6 4 Valve. It came in International and Clubmans derivatives. The very first develpment versions were Rover V8s with a couple of cylinders lopped off. I reallllly need to get out more.

Anyway.... Seeing as V64V engines were horrifically expensive to fix, and Rover V8s weren't, it became quite popular to fit a Rover V8 onto a Hewland FG transaxle, giving a 2wd 6R4. Other engines also found their way in there. That's about it really.
