edit - although it sure as hell isn't chucking out 500 bhp on an s/c Rover V8 boat anchor.
Looks like an Eaton M112 and chargecooler setup off a Jag on a later 4.6 Rover. It's possible that it's making 500, the supercharger will support it and forced air overcomes even the wheeziest of cylinder heads. How reliable it is, is another matter.

I reckon it's probably nearer 400, but it depends what he's done with the pulleys.

That’s some interesting exhaust routing.
How about not having a sig at all?

What the hell is the point of that exhaust?

I bet it sounds horrendous, it's stupidly impractical and also looks wank.

Someone paid to import that...

I particularly like the rear doors that look like they belong on a refrigerated van!
