wot one? the early mark 1 "pod" or the later mark 2 "bigger pod" I have to say though, in all my years and many models of SD1 ownership I never once had a a car with a saggy headcloth.. none of the dashboards warped, everything worked (except for one fuel pump failure) and overall apart from a nasty case of rust on one V8 they were always reliable and started first time. Ok, yes they did get pampered mechanically, (serviced when due, worn parts replaced with genuine bits) but none of them had a garage to stay in, and i used them as daily drivers (the V8's only when i had enough spare cash to fuel them) I am still on the look out for another, but the bad backs and the sore joints mean it will be an automatic VP for me... my boy racer days are over well... sort of
