Rover Meteor Mk.4B/2 engine.

It comes from a vintage British Centurion tank of the Swedish army. This engine is the altered version of the famous RR-Merlin aircraft engine.
The engine is all complete as removed from the tank in the early 90\'s and did not run since then.
Exterior needs quite some cleanup as it\'s covered with oil, grease and some dust. Few spots have some corrosion. The engine turns over easely. The removal tag from the Swedish army stated that the engine is low milage and had only3900 mi at the time it was taken out of the tank. Here some figures: Make: Rolls-Royce Meteor Mk4 B/2, licence build by Rover (ca.1960)
