I was given a nice assortment of Triumph Vitesse bits recently. In the
box of carbs were a pair of CD175-2 Strombergs (usual Vitesse ones are
CD150s).
I'll stick them on Ebay, but it would help to know what they're off.
Any
ideas?

For the process of elimination, they're not Vauxhall Firenza / Magnum,
some of which used the Stromberg 175CD carbs.

Rover V8?
SD1's and Rangerovers have both used them, as have volvo's (mainly single
though).

Very early Rover v8's did indeed use twin Stromberg CD-175's, but not
in that configuration, they're opposite each other on the v8. I doubt
very much if they would be correctly jetted for a 3.5 v8

I never saw a picture of them, or a post with a link, so I was simply
guessing. BTW, SD1's used them right up until 1981, Rangerovers used them
until the intro of EFI in the early 80's, so not just very early rover v8's.
