I had a scruffy S1 SD1 V8 and loved it. Mate borrowed and ripped the exhaust off on a speed hump so I used the engine in my MGB GT. The quest was then on to find another SD1 and was surprised at how difficult it is to find a nice one. Even usable cars in need of work are getting scarce. With that in mind be prepared to either spend quite a bit on a good donor or a lot of work repairing as they rot - everywhere !
Don't ignor the 2.6 as it was detuned because it was as powerful as the V8 and the oil feed problem that people associate with the lump is now cureable.

Fantastic cars I have had over 30 of them lol This is one of the last ones I owned, It was built by Dave Porter racing team by his head mechanic. It went like a rocket having Range Rover 3.9 injection on it and being very heavily modified engine wise. Gearbox had been rebuilt with Sherpa diesel cogs and it pulled like a train. All the boy racers used to hide when they saw it coming.   I was a real pleb to sell it........ More SD1 pics here on my old site from years ago  1dale.htmlplanet.com/photo.html |
