One of the SD1's ended up in rallying and was campaigned by Ken Wood in the Scottish Rally championship for about three years before he ended up with a Metro from the factory.
The car then passed to Duncan Jaffrey from Banchory who continued to compete in the Scottish Rally championship who shortened the shell to make it a bit more nimble.
The car had twin rear shock absorbers which made it a bit unusual, it was possibly originally built for Tony Pond to compete in the RAC rally.
I ended up with the block and the gearbox from the above car which are still in my possession.
Cheers
Hugh
