Ever wondered about Austin Rover's illustrious racing history? *crickets* No? Well, could I possibly interest you in some rally and racing footage? Yes? Murray Walker even commentates! Go on. Watch this.

Rallying an SD1 seems like it would be pretty much the coolest thing ever.

One of the Bastos Group A BTCC cars is alive and well in NZ, and shows up at the occasional historic saloons event. The thing is a beast! Sounds great and keeps up nicely with the more famous cars of the era.

Love these things. Proper old-school British bruisers, and some serious motorsport chops.

I was considering buying one that had 315,000 miles for a couple of hundred quid a few months back. If only because it must be the best built SD1 of all time to have lasted that long.
