Rover SD1

 

from Jonathan Welsh: "Fans of the "New Avengers" TV show of the late 1970s would recognize the Rover SD1 as agent John Steed's car from the series. Otherwise U.S. drivers might be at a loss. While the sleek design sold from 1976 to '86 in Europe, buyers here never warmed to it. After two years on the market -- '80 and '81 -- it was gone. Judging by the hood badge I'll call this an '81 model. Don't those 14-inch wheels seem impossibly tiny by today's standards?"
