For a nation best for In-line 4s and 6s, postwar Britain made several V8 engines. Which ones do you like or find the most interesting?

• Rolls-Royce / Bentley: L-Series (1959–2020 | 5.2L, 6.25L, 6.75L)
• Rover / Land Rover: Rover V8 (1967–2006 | 3.5L, 3.9L, 4.0L, 4.2L, 4.6L, 5.0L)
• Daimler: Daimler V8 (1959–1969 | 2.5L, 4.5L)
• Aston Martin: Quad-Cam V8 / Tadek Marek V8 (1969–2000 | 5.3L, 6.3L) Wikipedia
• Triumph: Triumph V8 (1970–1977 | 3.0L)
• Jaguar: AJ-V8 (1996–Present | 3.2L, 3.5L, 4.0L, 4.2L, 5.0L) Wikipedia
• TVR: Speed Eight / AJP8 (1996–2003 | 4.2L, 4.5L)
• Lotus: Type 918 (1996–2004 | 3.5L)
• McLaren: M838T / M840T (2011–Present | 3.8L, 4.0L)

The Rover V8 is definitely the most famous, but I think the Daimler is interesting. Had BL acquired Jaguar earlier i wonder if BL might have put the Daimler V8 into its Rovers and maybe Triumphs.
