Specialist Division: 1985 Rover SD1 2600 Van den Plas
This next car comes as a tip from Erik202 who writes: I am a huge fan of Group 2, Group A, DTM and silhouette cars in general and one of my favourite stories from that era has to be the TWR Rover SD1s. I’m not sure I have strong enough feelings about this particular rover to pay what I’m sure are ridiculous shipping costs but if they ever had a deal for free shipping on black friday or something i just might be tempted to live out my DTM fantasies. Find this 1985 Rover SD1 2600 Van den Plas offered for $13,600 via Hemmings.com located in Waalwijk, Netherlands.

Or maybe if I had looked closer I would have noticed that the shipping is not as much of a barrier as I assumed it would be. Now I guess just have to choose which livery i would wrap it in!
