Language / grammar problems[edit]

Since: "According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus"; I'll just list a few here:

A series of potential road cars had also been produced... -- They produced something that had the potential to be road cars? Fake road cars? Add water and they become road cars?
...even more prestige -- Implies previous mention of "prestige", which is not in article.
...described it thus, "You're sitting... -- should have colon after "thus".
...engine was of typical practice for Rover -- This doesn't seem to mean anything if taken literally. Does it mean something like: "...engine configuration was typical as practiced by Rover"?
...but its performance by a petrol engined car would have placed it... -- Should be "...performance as a petrol..."
...had to be monitored carefully to ensure that the exhaust gas temperature wasn't exceeded. -- Relative reference to a static value; should be either "...maximum gas temperature..." or "...wasn't excessive."
...the car is nominally on display..." -- Is only the car's name on display?
Allegedly owing to sand... -- are there people making allegations? [citation needed]. Perhaps "Presumably" or "Purportedly" would be better?
may not always be on display at all times. -- "always" and "at all times" is a superfluous redundancy and a supernumerary duplication of an added extra or a repetitious repletion.

Regenerators[edit]

"For the 1964 season, the major change was the addition of a pair of ceramic rotary regenerators to the gas turbine, so as to improve efficiency. Although often reported as "heat exchangers", these use a different technique."

They ARE heat exchangers... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_heat_exchanger S C Cheese (talk) 08:43, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
