I love the pace of these shows. In an age of instant gratification and videos clearly driven to try to retain viewers with silly edits, you can really settle in to these. I clearly remember my Dad bringing home an SD1 Rover v8. I seem to remember being impressed as a kid with its 155hp. From 3.5L!

@@TheLateBrakeShow I have a little channel for music. Nothing serious. But I do see the stats on KZread studio. The retention numbers are quite amazing. People are used to clicking on videos and it’s it doesn’t grab their attention in 20 seconds they are gone, which is clearly why serious KZreadrs have a little ‘best bits’ edit at the start of long videos. But it’s designed for a population that is being trained to have ADHD with TikTok. These barn finds are different in two main ways I think. Firstly, you have to be a real enthusiast to appreciate them. Secondly, the pacing is in keeping with the subject matter. Cars that have lain dormant for so long wait patiently while you slowly excavate them from their slumber, like a mechanical archeologist. The films are perfect. Keep it up!

You know its gonna be a good video when Jonny cracks out the barn find fleece.

Genuinely, I've not felt so emotional about car since you uncovered this national treasure, the crowning moment when it starts, lump in the throat. I truly hope Oliver gets it back on the road and unleashes the beast 😊, thanks Jonny for another epic find. And all this on fathers day, may be that's the emotional side 😂.

I worked in material control as a section leader & then materials manager on SD1 V8s, 2.3 & 2.6 variants from preproduction body 17 until production was transferred to Cowley plant & loved every minute of it. This barn find is absolutely wonderful & it's really nice to hear that V8 finally burble into life & see again what I consider to be one of the best vehicles produced at Solihull SD1 plant & superceeding the P6 2000/2200& P6B V8 assembled in North works all excellent vehicles. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I would buy that in a HEARTBEAT... it is one of the most beautiful cars that any UK brand has ever made.

I never really understood how a car could end up a 'barn find' parked in a garage and forgotten....that was until I had a TVR, which I enjoyed terrifically for the first 5 years of ownership, then life took over and for the next 5 years it was driven back and forward to its MOT every year and nothing else. It was heading the same way as Oliver's Vitesse until I plucked up the courage to sell. So, Oliver, I now understand how that happened!

the sd1 was a beautiful car .my favourite car of the 80s. if i had plenty of money then id get one as my sunday car.thanks for showing us this great example .

When you opened the back door to see inside... Omgosh absolutely amazing and clean, like a new one

The perfect Fathers Day fodder you never fail, my dad's best friend Uncle Bill had one of these I loved it, I love the way that is in such good condition and even the spiders haven't eaten it, even this man's garage door impressed me🤣 can we have a part 2 with it driving please

I used to be an auto electrician for an Austin Rover dealership in Norwich in the 70's , loved these cars when they came out....

Vitesse & Vanden Plas are the SD1s to go for.

What an absolute stunning car - I loved these, my dad had one in the late eighties (not the Vitesse, just a shonky 2.3L but in the lovely British Racing Green) - me and he loved that thing with it's square steering wheel and Daytona looks.....sadly it really was a car that was too expensive for him to run and eventually it broke down on the newly opened M25 when he was taking me back to my student digs in Kingston, he ended up selling it to the recovery driver on the spot (I was gutted!). If I had the room I'd have one of these today - that V8 version would be amazing, the same engine as in my old TVR Chimaera, sounded awesome. So glad Oliver got it started!

Even though they never came to my part of the Caribbean, I’ve always loved these. The first car I remember in the family was a 1964 Mustang 289 - must be why I love V8.

Great memories... Had a Vitesse years ago. Fitted the Leyland P76 4.4L block with the 3.5L heads, a straight LPG system and 3" straight pipe exhaust. A pretty rare car to see in Australia and I had great fun surprising (embarrasing) many a Commodore and Falcon owner. It actually felt faster 100-200kph than from 0-100 and was very smooth, planted and comfortable cruising at 200kph. I had a lovely straight 15km divided highway country road drive home and when opened up my partner could hear me on a still night coming home from several km away! Was an epic car but I remember replacing the heater core was a full 3 day job!

A guy who live up my street had one of these, he drove it like an absolute mad man.

I totally share your emotions about older cars Jonny. We car enthusiasts become emotionally attached to them, the story and a survivor is always a gem and of huge excitement.

If Christmas wishes were real, I think I'd maybe just wish for this. What a find!

I had the pleasure of being one of a gang of four roofing chippies travelling 20 or 30 miles each way in the gaffer's SD1. Two were big guys, plus the boot full of heavy kit, and it pulled brilliantly. Superb car; I want it !

Amazing condition. Even if it didn’t run I couldn’t leave it sat covered in a garage for all those years. I’d have to go out from time to time just to look at it. What a beauty!

Absolutely beautiful and gorgeous. I love these old Rover SD1’s just love the stylish design and lines. Hope it gets pampered and preserved for future generations. In police form they were amazing. There was even special government protection versions.

A reminder that we are just caretakers to the cars we love... it's always cool to see them preserved for the next person to adore.

my grandad had one around 1983 iirc, yellow 3.5. i used to sit in it and pretend i was driving it all the time when it was parked outside his house when i was about 10. felt like a rocket ship when i was a passenger in it. great memories and what a great find this was.

I adored this car as a kid. Well done Johnny you have made my year!

Awesome video, my dad, being a manager at BL then Austin Rover had loads of SD1's. Firstly we'd drive to the South of France in the Vanden Plas for our summer holidays and then He had a C plate twin plenum Vitesse as a dealer demonstrator company car before the Honda 827 Vitesse came in. I loved that car, it used to growl and he would take it to 130mph regularly over the Welsh mountains on the way to watch a rally. Fantastic trip down memory lane, thanks Jonny.

My farmer grandad had a SD 1 v8 Rover Vitesse, i am not sure he ever took a driving test as that started after he was already driving and i think he just applied for a license. What was most impressive is that he only had one eye, but we made it safely to the watch Somerset play cricket each week. Botham and Viv Richards where my sporting idols at that time but this car and my grandad will be forever a part of my soul.
