Real Road Test: Rover battle! 800 vs SD1

In this head to head battle, I pitch the legendary Rover SD1 against its replacement, the 800. Both are in fastback form. The SD1 is a 1982 Vanden Plas with twin carburettors, while the 800 is an 827 Vitesse automatic with leather interior. Which one is best? Oh and yes. I drove all the way to The Netherlands to test a pair of British cars. How very HubNut! This was filmed a few hours before I got my ferry home on the 2CV to Croatia roadtrip.
