I own a very nice 1984 3500SE in Australia. After all these years, it is still a head turner and the best to drive!

You can't watch it falling in love with it.

If Honda today would say:

"We buy Rover back and we start building those bloody SD1 again."

I guess I would instantly order one...

yet another wasted opportunity. If they'd built these properly it would have been a world beater. There was a huge waiting list when they first came out

The glove boxes would fill up with water overnight and they rusted really badly.

This car is interesting... I want to talk to someone who got to ride in one before 1982. Especially under *awesome* circumstances (your best friend drove one, you really loved them at the time, you begged a professor for the entire Spring 1978 semester to ride in one, etc, etc, lol)

@ChrisHenniker would do good lol. it is quite aerodynamic for a car that age

[ChrisHenniker]

@galbmw I was even thinking of a salt flats style car. You know: lowered, Moon Livery, Moon discs, roll cage, etc.

@sanjayj1432 i already have a car and im going to buy a race car in about 2 weeks so i cant afford another one

[sanjayj1432]

@galbmw then go for the rover sd1 vitesse

[galbmw]

@sanjayj1432 doesnt have the signature lights but for some reason if you mod it a bit it looks amazing. i dont mean put huge spoilers and shit like that just a nice dark colour and i owuld like to see suspension a bit lowered. that would look amazing in some ways better than ferrari

[sanjayj1432]

@galbmw yeah and whosoever buys the sd1 he realizes that yes i have a ferrari daytona with a suroof and a hatch upon it...

[galbmw]

@sanjayj1432 and i bet it was more reliable than the ferrari. i know BL was horrible at building cars but old ferraris go wrong worse than old homless person's teeth

[sanjayj1432]

@galbmw yes u are right.....
