Still think they are a great looking car. Well I did not know that !

Still think they are a great looking car.

A buick engine which Rover screwed the head design up on (poorer flow and never fixed), weakened the block (addressed on the SD1 variants), and designed in a fundamental weakness to ensure the headgaskets fails (extra row of bolts, fixed in 1990!)

Shame....its a very over rated lump which could have been so much better.
