I used to have a 2.3 SD1.......bought it £400..

Took me 2 weeks to destroy the engine  

You need to try harder, anyway I bet there are no S6 SD1s left now, I expect they are all V8 built like that or not.

Nice SD1. But prefer the P6 3500. More classy

  I nearly bought one of those in 1987, same colour to. But in the end opted for a mint condition XR4i due to the insurance cost.

  I don't think you can beat the sound of a V8, i've had three P6s on H, K & N Regs.

  My Brother had the best one though, a N reg. 3500S(manual with P/S and spare on the boot)in white with a black roof, luvly jubbly.

Think you mean the P6B the P5 was never fast with either engine.

oops corrected again, yep the P6 (too many beers and memory is shot).

Wasn't the P5 the one with aluminium body panels? Seem to re-call Roger Moore drove one in a film years ago about having an identical alter ego who took over his life!

In the late 80's I had a 1979 T Reg 2.3 SD1. Had a factory sunroof but no power steering, (think it was an option on 2.3 as my Dad's 2.6 was a year older and had PAS).
Were very comfortable cars but we both spent a fortune on them
