Might as well go the whole hog and have some truck nuts on the front bumper.

If it comes with factory-fitted blue LEDs underneath I am going to sell the house.

The only jam jar to get this right was the Rover SD1, I reckon.

I am not a fan of the Ferrari above…

That’s a P5B saloon. A SD1 looks like this:

I know, but it’s still an SD1.

I think I saw this at Burleigh some time ago- drove a mate’s P4 '100 there.

Spoke to the owner and took up his kind offer to sit inside and have a poke around. Wearing Rover Regulation Tweed®️ is essential for this sort of thing.

Anyhoo, it is fucking lovely. The smell is what got me. :star_struck::star_struck::star_struck::ok_hand:

That’s for the ruffians, innit! And those rostyle rims just don’t work for me.:nerd_face:

I totally agree. One of my most favouritest cars ever, but Stu was talking SD1’s.

The car at your link is a P5B Saloon, not a SD1. That’s a different car from a later generation - as in the pic I posted.

Talking of ruffians, I always thought a Coupe would make a great lead-sled, lowered, big Revolution 5-spoke alloys, hidden door-handles, most of the chrome gone etc etc

Would look brutal when all the distractions from that shape were gone…

Well, technically yes, but a lot of the P5B’s were upgraded with SD1 components (primarily gearbox) and are designated SD1 P5B, so……

Was definitely referring to SD1 or strictly speaking Rover 3500, however the P5 is fit as fucking fuck.

I used to prefer the coupe, but then tweed and age happened and now I prefer the P5 over the coupe, innit!

We have gone off topic by posting non-horrors. Have this to restore the balance.

Good point; as you were, gentlemen:

and the SD1 P5B I posted still knocks the feckin’ socks off the SD1 model.
