If these weren’t so poorly built they would be in the pages of motoring history, underrated design and engine. Beautiful car

[The-Sea-Dragon-]

I love them, the Rover V8 makes such a nice noise.

[Samurai-svwz]

Ahhh, the sound of a V8, being driven in anger.

Me and dad are rebuilding a rover 3.5 to put into my scimitar. I hope it sounds as good as this.

[RockDodger]

these cars were fucking awesome given a few tweeks on the engine and suspension. Stll my favourite engine

[nickwatson]

A beautiful sounding slug lol my favourite car of all time so don't think I am dissing it

[SpottingWithSam]

These things are incredible, I'd do anything to own one.

[oddities-whatnot]

I think they put the same engine in the Range Rover in the late 80s, I had one for work. Terrible fuel economy but very relaxing to drive.

[johnRCingabout]

That's what I want by car to sound like.👍

[Mr_lee_]

The SD1 was my absolute favourite car as a child. A true classic! And you'll never beat that Rover V8 sound! Truly awesome! Shame the build quality was so crap 😂

[Danny-zixw]

The police loved these things and drove them until the 90s, very nice car

[Markcain]

Listen to that symphony, ev guys just don't get it 😁

[thatroverguy]

Is that the rimmers full stainless system? Thinking of buying it for vdp efi

[BrokenEyedVegan]

That’s not standard is it
Then again it sounds like a TVR and I know they sourced this engine

[lewis]

It looks very Ferrari 400i in this footage IMO
This maybe heresy but I prefer the sound of the straight-6 !

[briggsquantum]

Here in North America where V8's are the rule that is the sound of going to work every day, or coming home. Nothing to see here, move along.

[MB_Tat]

The engine makes noise, not horsepower. Very American

[gregtaylor]

Hideously ugly, slow, poor build quality, handled (as shown here) like a yacht need I go on?

[stevenmacdonald]

Love it, like a Vulcan bomber for the road.
