The 3.6 V8 diesel would be the best bet. Can't see Bristol owners having any less cylinders. Even in a great lump of a Range Rover, it can despatch 60 in 8.5 seconds. In a Bristol, more like 7secs or less, but probably giving up to 35mpg.
Either that or (if Chrysler was still owned by DB) the V8 engine used in the Mercedes GL/ML420CDi
Anyone know what acceleration a stock Blenheim has at the moment? Is it really 6.3 to 60mph?
