[ROVERNET - UK] "Restoring" Rovers, Market Value, et cetera

[Ali Al-Abbasi]

I agree, the SD1 is quite an attractive car but the US ones got beaten with 
an ugly stick. When I lived in London, there was a guy with a bright yellow 
SD1 with a huge wide body kit (335 tires in the rear) and a Batman sign. It 
looked pretty awesome.
