DOT 185W

Thanks for checking out my 1980 Rover SD1 3500 V8 in Triton green, an original Rover colour.  This car was rescued from a driveway in London where it had stood for about 15 years, slowly deteriorating.  During the pandemic, a very talented Rover enthusiast brought the car back to life, cutting away rust, fabricating new bodywork and sourcing missing parts to complete the restoration.  Originally a 2300 in silver, the previous owner had installed the V8 engine, making it an irresistible proposition for rebuilding.

 

The work was filmed and published on YouTube across 67 episodes, the last of which is shown on this site.  If you want to see the whole series, go to YouTube and search for Nitrosilvia or SD1 Dotty. Or https://www.youtube.com/user/nitrosilvia

​

The car was purchased in 2021 by the current owner who has continued to improve the car and now uses it frequently.
