Roverone your as much a SD1 nutter as me, do you have posters in your house, if you do then ur as bad as me.

lol mmmmm I could be seen as one as the rover I bought was a basket case and thats how I wnted it

What looks to be a Black 3500 se in an action scene in the 4th Protocol with Micheal Caine and Pierce Brosnan.
Micheal Caine gets picked up in Rover and then the Rover races around the streets to get to a station in time for a train departure. Rover then races into station and hanbrake turns alongside the Train.

Ah yes, the supposed same car was in the club mag a few years back, though it had materialised into a Vitesse at some stage!.

I don't know if the producers did a bit of plate swapping, but it sure wasn't a Vitesse in the film (it had a sort of 'tan' coloured interior too IIRC). I'm not even sure that it was even a 3-5. It seemed to sound more 6-pot to me, I could be wrong though.

I recorded it last time it was on tv, so I might have a spotters moment at some stage and try and determine exactly what it is!

Funny you should say that because at the end in the Funeral scene there is a blink and you will miss it moment where there is a black Vitesse amongst the Funeral cars.

I've never spotted that!, definately time to watch it again.
Good film too I always thought.

You missed one film chaps...American werewolf in London.....
At the end where the werewolf runs down the dead end ...It`s a police SD1 festival that turns up...

Lots of P6's too!

Not films exactly but...
What was that tv series in the eighties with Penelope Keith?. Saw a clip recently and I'm sure she was driving an SD1.

Oh, and I remember a nice Oporto red VDP in an episode of 'Howards Way' cruises up full of business types!

Watch the god awful cannon and balls film "boys in blue" and theres lots and lots of Sd1 police cars, a 2000 automatic if i remember righly which apparetly they never made, mind you it would be bloody slow.

Also Clockwise with John Cleese theres half a dozen police sd1s.

I think it was a bit later than that one. Inbetween that and the one where she was a lawyer or something, driving a MG RV8.

Hang on, just done a search....it could have been 'Executive Stress' maybe.
Though it could also have been 'Moving' or 'Sweet Sixteen'.

Anyone remember those?, I don't!

Wasnt to the manor born, im sad but i love that series, you just couldnt get away with that nowadays, the only cars in that were various rolls royces, a rangerover, mini pickup a landrover and a minimetro!

They did make a 2000 automatic, I owned one. yes they were bloody slow. crap on petrol too
