Post by: Bush Tucker Man on July 03, 2006, 20:55:48

After reading Andys 'Little known fact' about Rudolph Diesels marvellous invention & its primary fuel source in the BioDiesel (http://forums.mud-club.com/viewtopic.php?p=249710#249710) thread in the Discovery forum, I decided to test your collective knowledge


Q. What is the connection between Land Rover & the Messerschmitt 262?

Edited @ 20:40 toamend my slip of the keyboard :oops:

Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel  :wink:

I believe the link is one of Land Rover's previous owners - Bayarische Motoren Werke who evolved from the aviation engine production company.

You're closest & in description
I take my hat off toyou (http://www.landroveraddict.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tiphat.gif)

The 262 used a B*W003 jet engine & obviously B*W owned the Rover Group, plus they used to the 2.5 6-cylinder turbo-diesel (from the 5-Series) in the Range Rover.
(Vauxhall also used it for the Omega TD)

Watch out for 'Trivia. 2' :wink:
