Please let me explain my previous comment:

SD1 5-speed box is known as LT77 meaning Leyland Transmissions 77mm shaft separation. It does not have a particularly good reputation. My comment was a jibe about good old Leyland Transmissions incorporating a special whistling feature.

I worked for Leyland back in the 1970s - the experience was an eye opener... :whistle:

Rovers were good cars until let down by Leyand's SD1... :cry:
do like the P5. but....but too heavy and very costly if repairing.
A classic car restorer local to me has recently finished the complete restoration of a P6 Rover... A 2200 model in an awful shade of green... It came out at over £85k... :thumbs:

And no, I haven't omitted the decimal point there... :whistle:
