Please let me explain my previous comment:Alan wrote:no. it was a 5 speed instead of a 4 speed.
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...

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...Alan wrote:do like the P5. but....but too heavy and very costly if repairing.Big Daddy wrote:I meant P6 but P5 and P5B have distinct appeal as well...
Rovers were good cars until let down by Leyand's SD1...
And no, I haven't omitted the decimal point there...
