Scalextric Rover SD1 Marlboro #27 1985 French Supertourisme 1:32 Slot Race Car
Category: scalextric slot cars
In 1971, the British Leyland Group combined Rover and Triumph to form the Specialist Division, tasking them with creating a new vehicle that would become the Rover Specialist Division Number 1, or SD1, for short. However, it was a lengthy process, and the car was not produced until 1976.
In 1985, the legendary French driver Jean-Louis Schlesser, driving a wonderfully liveried Rover, took the crown in the highly competitive French Supertourisme series. Against fierce opposition, Schlesser proved that the Rover was not just a tin-top to be reckoned with in the UK, as he claimed numerous race victories.
