Een handjevol volwassen (maar kinderlijke) kerels moest toch aardig hun best doen om die achteras stuk te krijgen...Yuri...GEESTIG EN WAAR:
ROVER SD1 (1975-86)
Back in the mid-1970s this was a dramatic indication of what to expect in the brave new dawn we came to affectionately call "the eighties". In which case the Thatcher era would have been a time of unbearable quality glitches and catastrophic major component failure, just as it was for early SD1 owners. An object lesson in taking a really good idea and then making an absolute rat's cock of the execution: the SD1 was startlingly beautiful and contained some genuinely innovative industrial design that should have made it a world beater. Add in that man-size V8 up front and a practical hatchback at the rear and you've got a winning package.
A winning package that was unfortunately productionised by British Leyland. You can guess the rest. The paint shop extractor fans blew rather than sucked, thereby royally buggering this supposedly state-of-the-art facility. The electrics has a zany sense of humour all of their own and there were a myriad of component failures. You know, minor niggling stuff like entire rear axle assemblies. But hey, let's not get bogged down in all that. Just enjoy the gorgeous looks and bass-heavy soundtrack. And try not to think about how, if this had been built by Germans, it would have been a no-ifs-or-buts classic by now.

Hmm lekker: donuts!
De SD1 is cool alsook de Alfetta. Wat geeft het dat er zaken voor verbetering vatbaar zijn? Dan verbeteren we die toch gewoon!Sommige auto's zou men nog eens moeten maken en wel goed zoals bijv. SD1. Met het waarom van SD wil ik niemand vermoeien maar ook de Alfetta had een best-seller kunnen worden en met name transaxle principe.
