Rover SD1 V8: what is it going to take to mend it?

This SD1 has been in the yard for a while. I have been slightly avoiding it because of the amount of effort it took to simply get it off the Transitface.

In the year nineteen eighty something, young me accompanied my father to buy his new car. Didn’t know what he was getting, it was extraordinarily exciting. In the collection area we’re two cars, both SD1s. One was green like this, with a dark brown leather interior and V8S written in the back. It was mean and awesome and the coolest thing I’d ever seen. I was in love. My dad came back after completing the paperwork holding the keys to the gold 2600 with orange cloth seats and no body kit next to it. It was quite a roller coaster of a day.

[@ProjectNigel]

What a disappointment 😆

[@windymiller5058]

@@ProjectNigel Very much so and especially as the SD1 turned out to be a poor choice as a family car depending on your position within the family hierarchy. If you were Father, you were quite happy driving your 5 door Daytona lookalike with it’s 6 or 8 cylinder engine, enjoying its sound and punch (who bought a 4 cyl one through choice?). If you were Mother you were less happy, sliding around in your seat with no massive steering wheel to brace against as Father launched into a bend at an alarming pace and getting wet feet because it leaked. And also having to deal with the children in the back who were having a miserable time feeling sick and bored because the seat was so low you couldn’t look out of the windows. It wasn’t remembered with much fondness, although my final memory of it was my dad saying how much he was going to miss this as he floored it through some tasty bends the day before he sold it.

At least it doesn't look too bad from this distance @10:23 to 10:30. Probably the only Opaline Green rear SD1 valance left in existence. Also, the front shock towers look solid. The body looks very original, and looks to have had no accidents. Very nice interior. All the exterior chrome parts look good. I think this car is worth saving.

She's a bit of a rough one, Mustard 🙈. It's times like these that I'm GLAD that car I live where I live. "Our" Rover's over here in the Desert simply don't rust. I was recently given a '53 Plymouth Belvedere Sedan from the grandchildren of the original Owner, who's STILL ALIVE @ age 94👀. This car had sat in a garage basically untouched since 1980, when it was last inspected. It won't take much to get the Flathead six running 🎽. Original paint & Interior too😉.

[@CortinasAndClassics]

I would hazard a guess of around 25k. The reason for my estimate is due to the KZbin channel 'Cortina City'. Pete spent that restoring one mk3 Cortina, and he restored 3 of them.

They may have been terrible cars, but there is a place in my heart for them along with the Mk1 granada.

[@ProjectNigel]

Yeah. 😊

[@williamwoods8022]

Only they were not terrible cars - yes they had problems with the early cars but the later cars were very good - when I moved here in 1998 a guy in my street was running an SD1 Silver Vitesse D reg and he was running it every day right up till a few years ago just before this scam demic started (go read the 2007 book VIRUS MANIA now updated) when he had to give up driving because of heart problems - was good hearing that V8 warble all the time and certainly not a terrible car to be used daily all those decades.

[@noexpensespentstudios]

You don't go into a project like this with your head, it's heart all the way. It did look suprisingly solid underneath. All of the rust is pretty standard SD1 stuff, they were like that back in the 90s when they were worth about the same as a half eaten bag of Frazzles.

My friend had a few sd1 Rovers I like them myself I do know where there is one of them but it's a straight 6. Unfortunately they where bad for rust but then it is an 1984/3. I would say for yourself it is not a car you want to repair. It's for someone who would strip it back and rebuild it. I know of one channel your probably aware of him to. He would probably he able to restore it. It's whether he wants to or not I do believe he has other one's he is doing but you never know. Price wise am going to be honest probably around £15.000 that's doing the work on it yourself. I kind of a have ruff figure what I spent on the 820 Si I have but it was a Labour of love for the car and not for over all the money I would make back. I haven't gone for s concourse finish. As some would by using second hand parts obtained from the club. Living in the Highlands of Scotland doesn't help the matter. Not having a work shop doesn't help either but where there is will there is a way.😀🤔

Great video capt, you got some amount of comments. The design of the sd1 is timeless, even the dash reminds me of the new ioniq 5 ev.

[@geoffreycarter3981]

That was a very cool car, I believe the 300SE's were quite a bit more rare and this is in very nice 80's guise. Not worth much $ right now in the UK at any rate, but worth saving from an integrity and historic standpoint. Plenty of body parts are available NOS and perhaps they could be chipped away at over the years by a caring soul. I have one of these here in CA and have owned it 2 years and am slowly working to get it back on the road as I can spare some money here and there. No-one else seemed to want to and I rescued it from someone's drive where it had been sitting for years. Labour of love, but boy am I still motivated to do, be it the ruin of me.

[@lewis72]

The SE wasn't made for that long. It was an S2 trim level. When released in '82, the trim levels were: S SE Vanden Plas However, in 1984, there was a range reshuffle, where the SE was dropped. S SE => Vanden Plas Vitesse Vanden Plas => Vanden Plas EFi

[@classic_britain]

My god that's rotten but it could be done I have had 4 SD1's they were all badly put together rot boxes but they are lovely cars to drive. As for resto cost 10K no problem

[@ProjectNigel]

10k is what I was thinking too.

[@williamwoods8022]

All cars back then were rot boxes if the owners never bothered their backside rustproofing them which the vast majority never did - I never had any problems with rust on my cars. Never owned an SD1 though even though I would have loved one but it was only the first cars that had problems the later cars were built just the same as most other cars back then. I moved here in 1998 and there was a guy driving a D-reg SD1 Vitesse in silver as his every day car right up till a few years ago now when he had to give up driving because he had a heart attack. That car was getting some rust round the rear arches and probably eslewhere but that was not the fault of the car or manufacturer as the car has done well to get to this age of every day use and parked in the street - it was because he never kept up with cleaning the wheel arches out and underneath and rustproofing the car. One of his relatives that owns a garage has that car now and is restoring it. A guy along the other side of my street had a V8 Rover P6 but now has a Gold 1500 Allegro that is in mint condition.

Fantastic video I've always wondered what the air intake tubes are made of on the early V8's and my father always swore that they had been asbestos

[@perwahloo3499]

I had a 2600 sd1 for a while in the late 80s, was a banger then when I was between jobs. Totally daft as a ‘cheap car’ but I had to have had an sd1 at least once. The pre facelift cars were just stunningly aggressive looking. Mine had the traditional 2600 coolant leaks and leccy windows that worked…occasionally.

[@davidembacher1682]

The great thing about the SD1 was that, as the bodywork disintegrated, they left a ready supply of solid 3.5 litre V8 engines in the breakers’ yards. When I blew up the engine in my diesel conversion 1973 Range Rover, I picked up a V8 lump from an SD1 at the scrapper for £50 which enabled me to flog the vehicle. Pity I didn’t keep it though, the original classic 2-door RR is worth a fortune now.

[@ProjectNigel]

Yes those V8s used to end in all sorts 😄

[@CynicalLemonade]

If you asked Jeff Goldblum, he’s say that we spend too much time thinking about whether we CAN restore cars like this that we forget to ask ourselves whether we SHOULD. If it were mine, I’d save the £40k and sell it for parts but I suspect the owner is a dreamer so it’ll become a never-ending ‘project’.

Always loved these Sd1s, maybe because my dad had one in the same Opaline green?, a 2600SE. Yours will need a fair bit of cash chucked at it but would be great to see another one back on the road. I'd lose the bodykit though.

[@polmacdhomhnaill3021]

Paul. Back in the 80’s and 90’s there wasn’t anything we couldn’t rebuild. Floor pans where common replacement on metros. Are all the panels available such as Inner sill panels and door skins? Folk are building projects with those V8s and fitting them in there classic cars, such as Vauxhall’s and fords. If the panels are available then it’s a simple job to do.

[@polmacdhomhnaill3021]

1998 when I had my own workshop. I had my XR2 mk1 and Mgb gt to put panels and skins on it’s really easy if you can see how to do them. My Toyota st165 had to be partly rebuild with welding panels on to get it though mot. Rusty is having driver train repainted or replaced, the front wings need 6in adding to them to fit over the 20in wheels, rear arches which I’ve cut from another 75 have to be reskinned to widen the body also.

People were a bit more determined then I guess.

Pity that the engine & gearbox didn't leak a bit more oil to keep some of the rust off the underside! Looks like nothing that a new bodyshell, wings, floor pan, windscreen, brakes, engine, gearbox, doors, electrics, exhaust, interior and a nice respray wouldn't fix! 😃 I think they were on to a good thing with the idea of an executive hatchback style of car. However, dare we mention the 🐄 in the room? I wonder where SD1 would come in a poll of the worst built Rover of all time? 😁 However it is amazing to see the odd few still about, and with this one being V8 and all, it would be a tough call to scrap it.

[@simonwoodward438]

An immaculate SD1 is a stunning car but this would be a 'Triggers Broom' sadly, it simply would cost 1000's of pounds. A few years ago Rimmer Bro or something like that had some new shells left over from the Indian Standard project which made me think you could build the ultimate SD1 with say a more modern 4.0lt Range Rover engine but again it wold cost thousands. I love the Vitesse but I've always liked the poverty spec 2.0lt in its simplest form complete with skinny steel wheels , image finding a mint well cared for version of that in an estate sale. As for your SD1 I think it's time to sacrifice itself to Oden so another Viking can live on.

[@nk53nxg]

I like the SD1 as my Folks had a dark metalic red 3500 S with a beige velour interior in the 80's when I was a young lad. I remember the front spoiler getting ripped off in snowy conditions, it did rust, especially in Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland. But I loved the way it looked and the V8 burble, the interior was lovely. You could salvage the rest of the glass house, the interior and exterior trim pieces as these can be hard to source now, and try and source a better body. Once you get into that body and get the carpets out, check the boot floor, front bulk head to floor area and the scuttle, battery tray area etc it may not be worth the effort. If you only need to replace the inner and outer sill and floor pan sections on that nearside and the other side is OK with just some small patching here and there in other areas it will be OK. The doors and wings bolt on and I am sure Rimmer brothers can provide front and rear valance, wings and door skins provided the door frame pressing is not totally rotted out. The boot floor will have holes, gauranteed, they always do😆🤣. The body is the money pit, those V8 engines are still plentiful, if you are going through all that effort then it would be worth getting new wiring harnesses made, all that work for the car to just go on fire would be sickening. Either way strip it down assess and cost out body repairs and panels, then make a decision to re-shell or keep.

[@logicastephen]

Love the SD1. Even if you can get that running it would work some value into it. The 'WILL IT RUN' click baiters love stuff like this. "OMG 1 owner SD1 stood for 285 years" BARN FIND WILL IT RUN YOU WILL NOT BELEIVE THIS CLICKY CLICKY CLICK CLICK OMMMGGG. But seriously this is a proper will it run.

Interesting video mate, you don’t see many SD1’s. I didn’t think you had to already have a current MOT to register it as historic, I have 1979 Suzuki scooter that doesn’t have an MOT currently and doesn’t need one, I’ve taxed it so that must be the case. As you couldn’t tax a vehicle before without an MOT.

[@frothe42]

That Rover is in very sad shape. I would estimate easily £15,245 total, and that is without labour costs. The automatic would also need to be pulled and serviced as well as the rear end. I think you would have to sell every vehicle barring Nigel for £2,000 to put into restoring this Rover.

It brings to mind a film I’ve seen “A bridge to far” a mission doomed to failure and heart ache. £20k if the engine and gearbox work including a rebuild on both just to get it in reasonable condition with a paint job and driving. I’d nut and bolt strip it for parts especially the interior as it’s getting harder to source those parts.

With Clever planning, supply contacts you can make it work creating money from enthusiasts hits. The SD1 is actively becoming a Cult Classic, and all of us who have them need all the parts crossovers sources we can get, also in keeping our motivation prompted, instead continuing to lean on them in the driveway 💥 I , in the,USA, only had them the one year- 1980 model. So they actually don't exist per generation knowledge.

Perhaps it’s all about priorities, getting the engine to run and focus a bit less on exterior details i.e. wearing the marks of time with pride. On the other hand, i would imagine that model specific parts such as lights, are getting rarer and more expensive by the day so it might be worth selling it in parts, although that would always be a bit cruel.

You could get the V5 put in your name, insure it then go & tax it at the Post Office, in the process declaring it an MoT exempt historic vehicle, no current MoT needed. The PO would then keep your new V5 to have the taxation class changed. It's very easy, some might say too easy. Not worth doing financially speaking. Worth doing if you're not bothered about recovering your money when it's done. It's got to be the thick end of £20k.
