Lovely write up for a lovely old barge! You sound very local to me. My Grandad also was on the line in Cowley... If he was still around I'd ask him if any of the "unfinished" bits were his fault

It looks dinky just like the XJ6 did beside the Jazz.

Never thought comical suspension lean and Uriah Heep would go so well Lovely car you have there sir, always lusted after an SD1, absolutely fantastic cars and still look great even now. Admittedly I always wanted an early Vitesse, to me with the graphics down the side, sharper chin and V8 soundtrack there's no better Brit bruiser of the 80s. Those things must've made Capris look like milk floats.

I moved to SE London in early '83, and the SD1 was a common site in police livery. I also seem to remember the 2600 was the more common than the V8.

Timely.
I was just reliving my formative years chart favourites on Youtube last night.
Lovely looking car OP.

Please tell me you've shrunk the Rover with some kind of photoshop wizardry.

That's unbelievable. It looks like a shoe in the middle there.

Breavan doesn't appear to have been on PH for a few weeks, but this car is now for sale:

In the event I didn't sell the Rover, and it's still going! The head gasket has started to go between two of the cylinders, but a new gasket is going in shortly, and for the moment K Seal is making the car behave. No Rover would be complete without at least some K Seal. Having said that, I am not driving the car any distance until my mobile mech is able to come over and do the gasket.

Welcome back BV72.

Cheers! I am not sure if I really am back, as frankly all the whinging and right wing politics in this place gets me down, but I might occasionally lob in to talk about rubbish old cars, if that is still allowed.

Here is the car in recent use - helping a friend collect a very splendid 1985 Granada Ghia X Estate, which was a very fine day out.

Tell me about it.

More shots with the Granny, including some comedy parking (by me, it was my turn driving the Ford, which is lovely - 2.8 litre Cologne V6 plus smooth autobox).
