Rover 3500 Vanden Plas EFi


 

Back to the Classics Tatton show today, with a rare Rover 3500 Vanden Plas EFi (only 24 left on UK roads!) This one rolled out of the production lines in 1984, and is the top of the range model. According to www.roversd1.info, the Vanden Plas SD1 (or 3500) was "basically a more luxurious version of the Rover Vitesse, using the same engine, suspension and brakes but with the Vanden Plas specification bodyshell." I must however say that having researched the different models online, I didn't manage to come across a 3500 with such body kit. I therefore presume that it is custom-made.
The car should have a 3.5 V8 engine with 190bhp: 0-62 in 8.2 seconds and top speed of 130mph (209km/h)
