Rover SD1 - List of Model Names

List of Model Names

The car was never marketed as the "SD1". The models produced (throughout the life of the range, not all at once) were known by their engine size.

  • Rover 2000
  • Rover 2300
  • Rover 2300 S
  • Rover 2300 SE
  • Rover 2400 SD Turbo
  • Rover 2600
  • Rover 2600 S
  • Rover 2600 SE
  • Rover 2600 Vanden Plas
  • Rover 3500
  • Rover 3500 SE
  • Rover 3500 Vanden Plas
  • Rover 3500 Vanden Plas EFi
  • Rover V8-S
  • Rover Vitesse

The initial May 1976 launch was for the 3500 only. A little over a year later the 2300 and 2600 were added; the V8-S was a short-lived model introduced later (remembered for its headlamp wipers, gold alloys and the option of metallic bottle green paint), and dropped before the first mild facelift, after which the range was 2300, 2300 S, 2600 S, 3500 SE and 3500 Vanden Plas. The 2000 appeared at the time of the major facelift, with 2400 SD Turbo, 2600 SE, 2600 Vanden Plas, Vitesse and 3500 Vanden Plas EFi appearing at various times afterwards. At the very end of the life of the car the range was briefly reduced to 2300, 2600 Vanden Plas, and Vitesse (now with a flush chin spoiler, deleted front fog lights, 190 bhp (140 kW) and deleted side graphics)

    “A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.”

    “When you model yourself on people, you should try to resemble their good sides.”
    —Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    “I do not see why, since America and her autumn woods have been discovered, our leaves should not compete with the precious stones in giving names to colors; and, indeed, I believe that in course of time the names of some of our trees and shrubs, as well as flowers, will get into our popular chromatic nomenclature.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
