Rootling 'round in the loft and I found:

3 at the front are 'modified'

The two at the back are worth putting on the bay as in their box and in good condition.

I sold all my boxed cars and action men on the bay. In fact selling & buying them was much better than bike parts.

Not to get into a big SD1 debate - they didnt 'rot'. Rear wheel arches were prone, same as any other car but I had 5 series one SD1 that were no worse than an equivalent Mercedes for rusting. All past their MOTs without any warnings.


Read up properly:

''...things went downhill rapidly for Rover with build problems rearing their ugly head again and reports filtering back rapidly from unhappy customers of tales of woe concerning their cars reliability. These centred mainly on the electrical system, but beyond that, there were innumerable paintwork and fit/finish problems reported too - it seemed that the products of new assembly lines at Solihull were not subject to any meaningful quality control methods. The sheen of a successful launch was so tarnished by these problems - and being a British Leyland product, these problems were highly newsworthy, so public perception of just how fine a car the 3500 was, were soon changed from admiration of an excellent car to disdain for an unreliable one...''

My mate raced an SD in the classic touring cars champ a few years back.
