1978 ROVER SD1 2600 14,000 MILES

This very good condition example of Rover's SD1 executive cruiser of the 1980s and 1990s is very much of its British Leyland era, finished in Turmeric with Coriander velour interior. It's a relatively early example of its type, having been registered in November 1978; the six-cylinder 2600 having only been launched in October 1977. The mileage recorded is a mere 14,465 miles. As an historic vehicle, the Rover no longer requires annual MoT testing; this one was last tested in August 2021 at 13,990 miles. 

The history folder with the car is an extensive one. It includes the current V5C plus some past ones, the original book pack with owner's handbook, Leyand Passport to Service booklet, colour and trim guide and price list. There's also a personal log of petrol use from 1978 to 1981 and then 2007 and 2008, plus a copy of Autocar magazine from January 1979, MoT certificates from 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2020 and 2021, and a stack of bills from 2007 onwards, showing considerable care and expenditure. There's also several sets of keys.
