Rover SD1: at least the police loved it - Patina's Picks

The Rover SD1 had all the good stuff: designed in 1970 by the rock 'n' roll design team of David Bache, Gordon Bashford, and Spen King, it looked like a Ferrari Daytona that had been taken roughly from behind by a Maserati Indy and, in 3.5-litre V8 format, sounded like a American muscle car enthusiast's wet dreams. It was cheap and beautiful and handled brilliantly.
