The Rover SD1 was modern in 1976. Maserati and Ferrari hints combined with a hatchback and V8 made for a whimsical mix.
The Rover 3500 SD1 was the first car from British Leyland’s newly formed Specialist Cars Division (SD). It followed the big P5 in 1976, and the quirky modern P6. The SD1 became the last major Rover worthy of the name.
In the mid-1980s, Tom Walkinshaw Racing, along with other racing teams, used the Rover SD1 in some circuit races, and from 1985 to 1987 the German driver Armin Hahne drove the Rover SD1.
In Germany, a Rover 3500 SD1 has always been a case for individualists. For aficionados who weren’t put off by the bad stories about English cars.
