I think I remember seeing this in the Haynes Motor Museum (in Sparkford, Somerset) some time around 1997/8 - it was some sort of special SD1 anyway, and IIRC it was the same champagne colour as other pictures I've seen of the prototype. I'll check the mesuem guide book when I get home if I can find it. Don't know if it's still there though. --Zilog Jones 10:14, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

At least one existed — and it was indeed gold in colour. I'm pretty sure it's now in the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust museum in Oxfordshire, having been used by the head of BL for many years (and thus "kept in the family"). – Kieran T ^(talk) 01:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An anon has added (again) something about the registration mark of Cowley's car. ( "As a reference at Cowley's name, its registration in the series was "MOO229R" (actually "MOC229P")." ) What on earth is this about? Is it some sort of "text-speak"? I can't see any relevance at all. Could somebody explain it (in the article, as well as to me, please!) — or I think it should just be removed as unreferenced, seemingly irrelevant sub-trivial original research. What a mouthful. But seriously, WTF? – Kieran T ^(talk) 01:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cowley was often called 'The Cow' by Bodie and Doyle. I guess it comes from there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.81.115.38 (talk) 17:52, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In the film Deadpool, as the hero climbs out of the rubbish truck, he grabs a cloth from the opened bonnet of a Rover SD1 it would appear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.99.43.194 (talk) 22:23, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's a Chevrolet Citation[1] - although they do look similar from the side. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 11:15, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you not know how to calculate displacement from bore and stroke?

automobile-catalog.com and carfolio.com have the correct specification

Only you have the wrong specification. 2607:F2C0:9384:9500:F4EA:11ED:F3E3:FD76 (talk) 23:12, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
