British Police Use
The SD1 was popular with British police forces, particularly in V8 form. West Yorkshire Police were the first police force to use the SD1. When SD1 production was ceasing, police forces stockpiled a number of the cars for later use, to be introduced over the late 1980s.

“Nothing could be more inappropriate to American literature than its English source since the Americans are not British in sensibility.”

“A sure proportion of rogue and dunce finds its way into every school and requires a cruel share of time, and the gentle teacher, who wished to be a Providence to youth, is grown a martinet, sore with suspicions; knows as much vice as the judge of a police court, and his love of learning is lost in the routine of grammars and books of elements.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
