	I've always liked 'em but it's been ess-dee-want-one for a while now. Too many other demands on my meagre finances mean I won't be owning one any time soon, but that doesn't stop me living vicariously through some photos of gooduns or tales of ownership experience. So whatchya got?

	Rover SD1 by Alansart, on Flickr The Rally Show 2011 - Rover SD1 Vitesse by Si 558, on Flickr Race Retro 2015 - Rover SD1 by Si 558, on Flickr They look fabulous in motorsport livery. Rallying or Touring Cars, equally great. I'd love to see one given the Pro Touring treatment though, like with American muscle cars. Super deep single colour paint (red?), biiiiiig wheels tucked under the arches, a carefully considered stance and lots of subtle touches.

	I've been suffering quite badly with this since I spotted this at WheelsDay. Yes it has a cage and yes it sounded amazing. Also saw this the other day, didn't help at all:

	I bought a tatty early V8 as a banger (full mot) as a run around. Loved it so much I tried to find a mint one as well but got sidetracked into buying a XJ40 instead. Early ones rot but in a way I prefer them to the later. Mine died after mate borrowed and ripped exhaust off on speed hump. Sounded wonderful though Engine lived on in my MGB GT. If you get the chance of even a semi decent one "go for it". Doesn't have to be the V8 as the problem (oil starvation to head) with the straight six is now sortable and the 2.6 is supposed to be a nice engine.

	SPECIALIST DIVISION ONE These are superb beasts. The ONLY cool car my dad ever had was a V8 series 1 VdP in that dark gold colour (Like this one) Just perfect... Leather seats, air con, cruise, all the toys. And the noise. My god, the noise.
