cruiser647 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 That is a lovely Rover. I love the P5. Always reminds me of the 79 election with Maggie getting out of it when she got to Downing St. I think they had those old Rovers for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Strictly speaking that's a P5B Coupe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabby Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Not a car wash in sight but an excuse to post pics of a couple of beauts I've seen on my travels recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 SD1 looks just like my old one, only without the massive supercharger and Mad Max style air scoop sticking out of the bonnet. It was like driving a rocket propelled sofa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted April 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Dunno why but looking at that picture it's the first time I've ever thought that the SD1 looks old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I blame that Needles bloke and his erratic driving style. "My mate" (well, long time internet forum associate and occasional chat in the paddock) is the guy who owns the car, Pete Mallett. If I remember, they did rather better in MM74 than this year, if you ignore Tiff tapping and spinning out the race winning Camaro...

Expand Garçon, would your mate be interested in a lightweight fibre glass boot lid for an SD1? I don't want anything for it, he'd just have to collect it or arrange for it to be collected, it's going to end up at the tip otherwise, I've been hanging on to it because it seems a shame to bin something that could be useful to someone and hard to find these days, if he's doing historic racing he could well be the chap it's meant to be with! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 I don't think it matters if it's a kit - still look amazing. As long as it hasn't got a 4 pot Ecotec lump in it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Almost certainly a kit, genuine ones are rare and too valuable to ever see on the roads, but as Mook says, so long as it's got a V8, does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
