i own a sd1 nothing and i mean nothing than a great british rover! not the most powerful but nothing sounds better and mine beats all the saxo`s and corsa`s! boy racers any time!
Hmm... My apologies for necro-ing, but that Buick V8 had some pretty major work done to it for Rover to use. Especially the twin-plenum Lotus tuned racing ones. 300BHP at the wheels, from a 3.5L engine? Yeah, Buick achieved that no problem with their other 1950's designs. Of wait.
@kurt44mg42 The Buick V8 was abandoned by GM, Rover bought the tooling etc and vastly improved it..........it is therefore at the very most an American/ British collaberation.
Unless of course you are going to say that it is just an internal combustion engine, so it was invented before America was even a country. Everything thereafter has just been a modification of the original idea.
yep, and then the Aussies got it, made it 4.4 litres and made sure the cooling system worked before dropping it into the ill-fated P76. A nice motor though by 1970's standards
awesom a,had SD1's for 20 years ,i hope Spen King knows what he done for us ,forget all the top gear idiots,look how well this car did they never mention that do they.
Come and see the SD1 in all its glory... at Hatton Country Park (Warwickshire) on Sunday 29th July. The Sd1 club will be holding its National Rally there. Might even be a few race cars on display.
Tom Walkinshow was a great icon of racing in the raw.
These were the days when the medical for a racing licence checked for a hairy chest.

Yes, the 3500 was a great British car...powered by an American Buick V8 engine.
