Yep me too.

Great Buick engine, great bodyshell shape (for the time), dire brakes and terminal rust though.

Still think they are a great looking car.

I had an S reg 3500 manual in gold. It was ok but nowhere near as fast as a P6 3500S that I had before it. With hindsight I should have kept them both-especilly the P6.

A buick engine which Rover screwed the head design up on (poorer flow and never fixed), weakened the block (addressed on the SD1 variants), and designed in a fundamental weakness to ensure the headgaskets fails (extra row of bolts, fixed in 1990!)

Shame....its a very over rated lump which could have been so much better.
