I remember the controversy over the styling of the ford sierra estate and it's flat rear end.

The SD1 estate was six years before this. Another wasted opportunity from BL.

It’s a good design, why BL didn’t put it into production when the likes of Volvo and Mercedes, Peugeot and Citroen had huge expensive estates is inexplicable.

cos they were skint, and still fighting an all out war war with the TGWU.

 

it was all that micheal edwards could do to get the money together to rebuild longbridge, and productionise the metro.

 

he actually used one of the SD1 estates as his own vehicl for some time in late '70s. there were at least 2 distinctly different development mules about at the time. the one in Gaydon was he used to drive.

 

other missed opportunities were the Truimph Lynx (a lift back coupe based on the TR7) and frankly doing something like the Austin Apache instead of the Allegro....

My got them MG things are fusking awful arent they? In MG circles they cause significant tweed pant wetting. They look awfully put together.

Yeah? Look like an Audi TT mated with a Nissan 350z...coulda shoulda.

 

The ADO34 prototype (model) is a lil cutie, out dated grille aside, very like a Pug Pininfarina design.
