| The Billing 2002 Show |
As you can see, it was that 'Billing' time again.
As always, the 3 days of the Billing show brought together many
thousands of Land Rover enthusiasts from all over the world, and
the Spirit of Billing lives again until next year.
As usual we took a very wide range of our V8 products & vehicles,
many you can see below. In addition to this, we had over 40 engines
on view including 5.0 and 5.3 Litre variants, and 3 further static
displays including a 4.0 engine complete and running in our test
bed, also a very stunning (exploded view) V8 engine.

|
|
 |
 |
Here we have just a few engines 4.0 and 4.6 short and long. Also our unique engine stand.

The exploded view
engine that we had on display at the show. The background has been
taken away here so that the engine can be seen more clearly.

Rockers under the
rocker cover, and the push rods etc, that can be seen a lot more
easily.

Some
of the vehicles we had on display this year at Billing
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Our Ex-MoD Land Rover 3500 & Land
Rover 4.6 Auto, converted and
used by us.
|
Our Range Rover 4.0 HSE
& my own 5.2 now being fitted with LPG (sequential) Direct
Injection & 550 mile range.
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
|
|
Once again we were very
proud to include Steve Green's Drag Racing 4.5 Litre V8 (0- 60
mph in 1.5 seconds).
|
This rather special Norwegian
SD1 Vitesse has been fully restored by us, and is powered by our
Stage 3 4.6 V8.
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
|
|
The 5.2 (RPi) power plant
of Tim Phelps' very successful off-road racer.
|
Not only is this one of
the fastest in its class, Tim Phelps is also one of the best drivers,
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
This 1972 Range
Rover is a wonderful example of how they can look if restored properly.
This one is also going to be LPG converted at RPi by the customer.
Soon to have his own page, watch this space.
