"Rush" Rover V8s?
Just read an article about the F1 cars used in the new movie Rush. A few of the replicas were powered by Rover V8s! I thought that was really neat! I hope I or someone can find out more and post it!

Re: "Rush" Rover V8s?
Probably the crash / rough usage cars were rebuilt chassis with the period bodywork and the rover power. Looking at the pictures I think they used a lot of restored cars/owners for fill in , as they seemed to have the DFV cosworth engines but there was a couple pics with ohv engines.I'll bet the owners of the real F-I cars were paid handsomely !!
