| Rover SD1 1978 |
The British Leyland (BL) Group, began developing a new car to replace both the Rover P6 and Triumph 2000/2500 in 1971. The design team, headed by David Bache, was inspired by exotic machinery such as the Ferrari Daytona and the late 1960s design study by Pinninfarina for the BMC 1800. Spen King was responsible for the engineering aspects of the design; Bache and King having previously collaborated on the Range Rover. The project was first code-named RT1 (for Rover Triumph Number 1) but then soon changed to SD1 (for Specialist Division Number 1) as Rover and Triumph were put in the new "Specialist Division" of British Leyland.
