That is a gorgeous collection of SD1s it has to be said. The VDP looks wonderful! It is good to see the ST220s having some appreciation  . With the impending bills of my 3.0 I may just consider one! |

Utterly tremendous...!!!!!!!!
That low mileage SD1 is one of the finest pieces of wedge-like machinery I've ever seen. Let's see some more pictures of that please.

Thought a few more pics of my vitesse is needed. Shes a 1984 vitesse auto. 3.9 range rover v8, fast road cam, uprated injectors and fuel system, jag AFM, mark adams adjustable ecu, full stainless system, larger core radiator with twin kenlow fans, jag xjs brakes, polybushes all round plus much more. Shes not mint but I'm working on that. I have £28k worth of recipes from new, not including the purchase price. I'm making all the bad bits good and will start a thread soon. Cheers.    |

Oooh, those SD1's are making me weak at the knees! The only brand new car my dad ever bought was an 'X' reg SD1 2600S in brown (which did actualy suite the car). I loved that car and have loved the SD1 ever since despite never actually owning one. |

I have a real thing for SD1s (ever since watching the Liver Run) - the black one is very much my bag. Nice collection.

Welcome! SD1'a are my favourite rovers! Loving the gold one. I think they look best painted in some of the more unusual colour rover/BL were using in the 70s/80s.
