Iconic V8 SD1 Rover Futuristic looks, modern steering, good handling, practical hatchback, excellent spares, and specialist support, V8 performance, and still excellent value makes the SD1 a must-have. The choice of pursuit vehicles for the police in the 80’s. After the SD1 went out of production there are few really good survivors (this is one of them). They’re going up in value and appeal as the SD1 begins to become appreciated by collectors. The SD1 was a revolutionary Rover with daring fastback styling, and a lightweight unstressed V8 up-front. The car was improved constantly during its life, so the final models were fast, appealing and genuinely desirable. This is a really nice example with very low mileage and low owners  supplied with a superb documented service history and in need of little attention Service record – read and believe! 1001 miles 6483 miles 12328 miles 17378 miles 19175 miles 20480 miles 22187 miles 24182 miles 25777 miles 27824 miles 29565 miles 31082 miles 32541 miles 33092 miles 33815 miles 33199 miles 34044 miles 34959 miles 35084 miles 35399 miles 35608 miles 35694 miles 35764 miles 35788 miles 35806 miles 35840 miles 35859 miles Other 35764 – Brake Fluid, Battery 34735 […]

Clearly in Japan she was very much cherished and enjoyed the lack of salt for ice therefore, hasn’t rusted. The Double Six is a fast car, as it should be with a 5.3L, 313bhp V12 engine, and the power delivery is matched to an equally smooth automatic transmission. The Double Six was far cheaper than the cheapest Rolls-Royce or Bentley in its day but oozes much the same opulence and is virtually as well made Engine 5,993cc. V12 cylinders, 313bhp at 5,350rpm. Four-speed automatic gearbox, rear-wheel drive. Top speed 152mph, 0-60 in 7.5 seconds. Fuel consumption 14-19mpg.
