620ti or possible called 600ti - proper sleeper

The rover vittesse was a 2.0 turbo with about 200bhp. They were actually really quick being such a big car.

we used to own a 620TI for 5 years, seriously under-rated car
yes, it shares the same engine as the 820TI and 220 tomcat
t-series engine produces 210bhp and 240n/m torque IIRC 
great car, proper sleeper

head gasket not made out of 'instant gasket' sealant would be a start

Sd1 old school
The 620ti's don't seem to be that quick tho, not slow but nothing suprising imo.
