Rusty dog! Look at the state of the fit of those glove boxes.

They have grown on me over the years but I hated them when they were current.

This has taken my eye. Shame it's not an "i":

I had an identical one to that. The interior was black velour though. My first e30 came after this.

I had a pair of 2.8i Ghia X's, one silver and one Caspian blue about 16 years ago.

LOVE a mk2!

My X was Glacier Blue with blue chatsworth trim.

And I know of an original 1984 A plate factory 5 speed manual iX in Paris blue. Sat in a field completely rotting away. And the guy will not sell it!

F ucking Grandad bile! You boys can keep your Dagenham junk, the SD1 is mighty cool, but i've always said, an early 3.5. in poor fettle, always sounds the best, the sound of a knackered V8 is wonderful.
I've had 2 SD1's, a very ropey 2.3S, and an '86 Vanden Plas V8, sadly the VDP lasted one full week before the auto box shat itself, still, I only paid £260 for it and sold it again for the same.
Would love another but the prices are on the rise

No pics of the V8, but here is the 2.3S.......



And yes, I lived in the caravan behind, Steve K, eat yer heart out

There is a local freak that has an array of SD1's on his drive/garden/street, never seen the attraction myself, apart from the V8 noise of course, but thats where it ends

Its a beautiful car Dan, except maybe the dashboard, but exterior wise, just beautiful

Good man, my all time favourite video, I remember watching it when it was originally on television, Alastair Stewart presented it IIRC, that was a few years ago now

My father in law owned a dark blue Rover SDI. from what I recall, it was a fantastic car to drive. Very quick.

My fave bit was the air vent directly in front of the driver, in the middle of the dash, so on a hot summer's day you got a face full of cold air.

I need an SD1 in my life, saw that one a few days ago, if I only had somewhere to put it...

[Mitchen]

One of my primary school teachers used to have an SD1.. Horrible old french woman known for locking naughty kids in the cupboard. Used to scare the bejesus out of me whenever I saw her Rover roll up in the morning.

Funnily enough opening that eBay link brought a sense of fear over me that I haven't felt since being a knobbly knee'd 8 year old back in the early 90's.
