Be sure to write a letter what your plan is to your insurance company.
May I ask who are you with?

If you don't want to spend loads of money wait for the v8. If you do decide to go the turbo route forget about the v8 as you can get decent power out of a turbo.

What has this got to do with his question ?

Exactly, it's completely unrelated to the question the O.P is asking...

I agree with Keith, either pick the V8 or Turbo option, as doing both is a huge waste of money... Me personally, I'd go down the turbo route as that's what made the VL special in my opinion, but there is nothing wrong with a V8...

Next he will tell him to look in the owners manuel and service history

Why not put the v8 in, then turbo the v8!

Ah yes, because every VL still on the road has the original logbooks

In all seriousness, stamped logbooks only tells me a little bit on older cars... There are people out there who fake the service entries and there are also cars out there that have been well maintained, even if the logbook hasn't been completely stamped, throughout the car's life...
