James Taylor tells us the 3500 went on sale in the Netherlands early in 1977, being joined by the 2600 for 1978. However, as with other continental markets, it would appear the 2300 cars were withheld until 1981.

With Belgium hosting a major BL assembly plant at Seneffe there was a significant ‘captive market’ of company or supplier-company executives who drove Rovers, although they were not assembled at the plant as sometimes thought. Considerable investment was required before overseas assembly of a car like the Rover SD1 could take place and the only countries to do so were South Africa (from 1978) and New Zealand (from 1979).
