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)

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, model and/or names:

    “Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “For an artist to marry his model is as fatal as for a gourmet to marry his cook: the one gets no sittings, and the other gets no dinners.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “If marriages were made by putting all the men’s names into one sack and the women’s names into another, and having them taken out by a blindfolded child like lottery numbers, there would be just as high a percentage of happy marriages as we have here in England.... If you can tell me of any trustworthy method of selecting a wife, I shall be happy to make use of it.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
