Jeremy's choice of car in a contest whereby Jeremy and Vicky must purchase a car with a limited budget and then tune it up, for a later face off. Despite Jeremy's persistent insistence of power over handling, the Rover did indeed win ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Yes, they repainted the original car that Jeremy bought for £250 as he wanted it "British racing green" ![]() |

Two differenct cars I believe as the bonnet badges are early (plastic) and late (metal-perforated) versions. The main picture is possibly tuned by Ripspeed international (5.3 litre?). |

I love the Rover SD1. British Leyland's finest car IMO. |

This was one car, which took 3 weeks to convert. |
