Nice. It's the only colour for an SD1.

BTW, that K&N is swapping power and torque for noise.

Very nice indeed.
I read recently that 99% of all SD1 Rovers that were once registered within the U.K have now been scrapped, so it is great to see that you will keep yours running well into the future!

Yes it looks great.
I reckon that figure could also be about right for the Aussie SD1s. Very rare sight these days, though once there were lots . They sold extremely well in 1979 the first year they were introduced here and were a real head turner in comparison to what was then around (i.e. hordes of 6/8 cylinder Holdens and Ford Falcons).
I've had quite a few young chaps come up to me when mine's out for a run and ask me what it is - they've never seen one before, and can't believe it's got a V8 that's not a Ford or GM one.
