  • I think the SD1 is still a brilliant looking car to this day. If only the build quality and ownership experience had lived up to the rest of it. The problem with BL was that they treated their customers as unpaid development engineers. Launch a car before it was really finished, then let customer breakdowns / faults determine what needed to be improved. Most of their models ended up decent enough a few years into production, but they pissed off loads of customers getting there. A shame.

  • @AlistairVeyron actually the Mini was conceived in the BMC era not the BL era

  • All of the cars featured - desolved before the owners eyes within 18 months. Austin/Rover/BL ryhmes with - crock of shit

  • the only good cars BL made were the Range Rover and probably the Austin Maestro (Gulp) that's about it

  • price includes seat belts!!!did they sell them without seat belts?makes the 80s seem like a bygone age,thanks for the upload.

  • The SE was dropped in '83 for the Vanden Plas.

  • A young Swiss Toni..

  • Lol? price includes seat belts...

  • The best car there was the Acclaim because it was a Honda. I bet Mower didn't drive a Ital!

  • Aint that Rodney from Emmerdale selling Rover SD1's ?

  • @TejMulen, sorry but Kernals12 is correct. Mini was devised in the late 50's BMC era, with a 1959 launch. Hence the Austin 'Se7en' and Morris Mini-Minor badged versions.

    Austin Rover evolved in 1982 from BL's Austin Morris and Rover Triumph divisions.

    The Austin bit was dropped in 1989, so really the first 'Rover' Minis were the models from 1989/1990.

  • So Rodney Blackstock (Patrick Mower) was a dodgy geezer even back then....well you'd have to be to try to flog BL cars!
