That photo shows how low and sleek those beautiful SD1s were - I think that is the best colour for them too.

I was using the icon above the text box but this is simple. I must try this method on my other forums I visit.

Oh! and the photo well it shows my ever growing Rover collection with the "boss's" Royal Blue diesel, my Wedgewood Blue V6 and my fully restored Moonraker Blue SD1 Vitesse.

Glad to, but best do them on another topic as this is really for 75's & ZT's
But here is one of my V6 and my Vitesse at The Falkirk Wheel taken earlier this year.

I've always kept a good record of photos on all my cars as well as an Exel spreadsheet with expenditure. I even keep a write up which is a better history than any service book as I found out on my second service when the main dealer lied to me about what had been done.

Anyway the missus's diesel was almost at the magical 100,000 mile mark so I cunningly swopped cars with her that day and took the old girl out with camera in hand.
I only recall covering this figure once before in my company van, a Mazda 2000 and I reached the 100k right on the middle of the Erskine Bridge over the Clyde but this time with the 75 it was right outside the main gate of HMS Gannet at Prestwick Airport.
Here she is after I pulled up at the safest well almost safest point just round the corner.

Stunning for 100k.

The SD1 is beautiful.

Quite a lot of people seem to own SD1's on here, really does show you how the 75 was truely appreciated by Rover vans.

I purchased a pair of pre "Pro Drive" front head restraints recently and after fitting them I decided to try out the original front ones to the rear seats.

They fitted straight in, after tilting the rear seat forwards and look OK.
They certainly look different and dont block the rear vision too much.

Here is a shot looking back from the interior mirror angle.
