Proto-types

[shaggywrx]

For my own rabid curiosity and the wealth of knowledge available here but......<br>
<br>
Looking on the Unofficial Austin Rover web resource (<!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.austin-rover.co.uk/)">www.au ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> There are quite a few prototypes pictured. Did any survive? The SD2 pictured has obviously made it into a fully built example<br>
Reg LUL 79P. Was this crushed or was it picked up by a museum maybe?<br>
<br>
I do know that a couple of very early Stag prototypes made it out into the public domain, and I believe the ADO 70 is still alive somehwere (Gaydon maybe?)<br>

If you rummage on Austin-rover.co.uk, there is a picture of it at a classic car event. It lives at Gaydon, I think.

I think it was the TR7 designers second attempt at a car<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :| --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ferent.gif ALT=":|"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

Skoda meets BX with SD1 doors. It is indeed at Gaydon. I think they keep it as a reminder of what not to do.

I believe it was out at the Nene Valley classic car show last year. Very forgettable.
