peekay64 ◊ 2007-06-28 08:53	I'd say they would have only launched the 3,5 litre V8 automatic in the Us, so I would say it's the Rover 3500 SD1

peekay64 ◊ 2007-06-28 11:08	You're right, I got sidetracked by the remarks about US models :-). It is indeed a british example. It's the 1st series SD1 (rear bumpers not extending to rear wheel arch), so it could only be a 2600 or a 3500. Since the 3500 generally had a small V8 badge on the front wings, this is most likely a 2600
