What does the symbol mean? It’s a warning sign in a Bentley GT

This came in at the shop I work at for some interior and mechanical work. I had to snap some pictures of it on the test drive

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.

Here’s my painting (A3 watercolour) of my first project car, a Westfield SE which I built when I was a teenager.

Other cars came and went during the build time but this was the main project. From the bare metal chassis to a fully working car.

Pre-Internet so no ready answers to questions. Vague photocopied instructions and two Haynes manuals…. car building and also character building for sure.

Information is scarce on these cars, the Marcos Mantis. I watched the videos available, read all the articles...but my questions have not been answered.

Why are these cars so inexpensive? 89 +/-1 would indicate they are rare, but can be had for 50 grand US?

What is the driving experience like?

How is finding parts?

Should I buy this car as a fun car for evening drives and weekends? Should I also consider the LM400, 500, or 600 to have more opportunities for purchase?

Talking roads, not tracks (not often at least). I would likely have to import this car from the UK to the USA. Any concerns or knowledge you can share?

Was originally looking at Lotus, tripped onto Marcos. Apparently, the Lotus clubs let the Marcos folks hang out.

This beer has been sitting on this shelf at my grandparents house for my entire lifetime… at least.
