Very nice cars in their day IMHO. Really distinctive looking.

Imagine seeing one on the roads in the 80's when every other car was a Sierra / Cavalier / sh*tbox.
I know of one in Doncaster that gets used on a daily basis, and there's a wrecked one at the clinic, which IIRC may be donating it's engine to something a little more contemporary

Mal,

I was talking to a guy at JAE who had supercharged an SVX. Did you see it?

Now there's a thought 3.3 supercharged engine

There were about 200 official imports so fairly rare since theres a few that have probably been written off.
