After the success they enjoyed with the Jaguar XJS, Tom Walkinshaw Racing was then asked to take another of British Leyland"s legends of the 1980s racing, the Rover SD1. In its iconic red and white colours, the SD1 proved to be a dominant force in the ETCC during the mid-80s.
Fighting the BMW 635CSI wheel to wheel across Europe the big Rovers proved to be more than a match, and they sounded incredible too, thanks to their powerful 3.5 litre V8 motors. This particular example won the 1986 Donington 500KMs in the hands of Win Percy and Tom Walkinshaw himself.
