Thank you for your input Mr T, It's nice to have one's own thoughts confirmed. These days things don't always seem to follow conventional logic!

The only reason I have gone with the Rover V8 is for grunt, we have lot's of big hills around here; also the ability to pull a reasonably tall 5th gear at 70 on the motorway for effortless cruising and hopefully, reasonable economy given the engine size. I have no interest in high speed or racing but possibly the occasional classic endurance trial.
