Still some work to do.......

[F.M]

...but she`s looking quite fetching....I still need to spray the front spoiler,fix the sunroof that`s came off the rail at one side, whack on the vitesse alloys with some new 205/60/15`s......then set about chopping up the exhaust backbox to free up a jolly rumble...then onto the other 3...

gorgeous car, love the rover SD1's

[kieran2006]

Yes, I like these, very cool! I take it yours is a V8?

[F.M]

yeah ...that`s a 3500...in an ideal world it would be a 300hp 5 litre TVR unit. In the garage is another LHD V8 from Oman..and 2 2600`s...

There is a 3.5 engine & janspeed turbo unit to transplant in one of the 6 cylinder cars at some point soon.....and nice big 275/235 wide splitrims too add...



One of the 2600`s nominated for the turbo transplant....

Oh, Yes. Very Nice!

[PJR]

Nice! Quality V8 Brit Barge
Not that im generally a fan of lowering everything and putting larger wheels on, but I have to say it would suit those cars nicely. Well, a little lower and slightly larger tasteful rims anyway
That along with a V8 of added meatiness would make a fabulous car.

P,

Love it..

I owned 2 SD1's, an auto 2300S when i was 18, then an ex Police manual V8..which was a non PAS animal

Loved them both.

One day..i would like a nice Vitesse TP.

[andybe]

Like it.

[F.M]

I was just trying on the racing alloys for a piccie session yesterday....
It would be fair to say I`m very satisified with the potential of the car now....

I`d expect around 160 odd HP at the mo with the 3.5 carb set up with twin K & N`s...not a rocket by any means with a tonne & a half to haul around but the turbo set up might be good for around 230-260 with scope for a little bit extra perhaps if some cash is pumped into the internals.....the bike is the tool for me to go fast....I still think a rebuilt 7.0 litre odd big block yank V8 would be a relatively cheap & efficient way to melt some tyres without totally nuking the bank balance...
