In this Top Gear segment, Richard Hammond takes the classic Rover SD1 — “the code name given to a series of large executive cars made by British Leyland and Austin Rover Group” — out for a road test. Video after the jump.
This car was launched in June 1976 in liftback form, with the SOHC 2.3 L and 2.6 L sixes following a year later. The car was warmly received by the press and even received the European Car of the Year award for 1977
