A few weeks ago I was contacted by a customer looking for kingpins for his ageing horsebox & he was really impressed with how much interest I showed in finding the bits for him, which I told him was because I'm into old vehicles etc. so the conversation developed from there & when the subject of Rovers cropped up he said his Father had owned a V8 P6 & also bought one of the very first SD1s sold in the country infact he remembered it as being THE first. Anyway the dealer offered the option of a full length Webasto foldy-back roof which he said was literally full length "windscreen to tailgate" was his description.
One morning he was travelling to work with his father when the car was only weeks old & every corner there was an odd pinging/popping noise :? & his father said the car seemed to be handling really oddly, so it went into the dealers & it turned out the huge sunroof had weakened the bodyshell so badly that the spot welds were breaking in the B/C posts :shock: & the car had to be re-shelled.
This by the way is not me having a dig at SD1s I know they had their problems but I quite like them i just thought it was a funny story
Regards Colin
