Description
We are very pleased to offer possibly one of the best Rover SD1s we have seen in a long time.
This is a rare and highly desirable 1985 Rover SD1 EFi in the very rare and desirable Vanden Plas trim, which was recommissioned in the early 2000s.
It has recently been in a very prestigious car collection and is only coming to market due to a change around of the collection that is going down a different route, as is often the case with car collectors.
There is only believed to be a handful of EFi examples on UK roads, making this Rover especially rare.
This SD1 was formerly a Rover press car, again adding to its value and desirability, displaying the highest specification SD1 you could buy in 1985.
Finished in special order Black and believed to be one of one in that specification.
The history is very nice with a large selection of invoices dating back many years, displaying how well it has been looked after, but the appearance will probably tell you all you need to know.
