Rover SD1 is the code name given to a series of large executive cars made by British Leyland and its successor Austin Rover from 1976 until 1986.
In "SD1", the "SD" refers to "Specialist Division" and "1" is the first car to come from the in-house design team. The range is sometimes wrongly referred to as "SDi" ("i" is commonly used in car nomenclature to identify fuel injection).
