Yep. SD One for sure.

On a related subject, can one of our Dutch posters help me with something?

Being a Bentley nut (in case people hadn't noticed), I have often been exposed to Bentley coachwork built by Vanden Plas.

VdP of course became a brand name in BMC, and eventually there was a Rover SD1 Vanden Plas.

I have been told that the original family Van Den Plas is of Dutch origin, and that the "Plas" should be pronounced with the "s" sound. Traditionally, it has been a silent "s" - "Vanden Plah" as it were.

Can anyone tell me which is correct?
