I had heard that he had bought a Computervision SD1 with a twin turbo V8 in it and was putting back to rally spec but I don't know anything more than that. Nice guy high maintenance though, every trip we did with him we could see his brain ticking thinking of ways he could save money, usually cost us money . His 4 year old Disco broke down at the Eifel rally, it was out of warranty and he rang Land Rover up and had a massive rant. We were flown back first class from Cologne to the U.K then to the Isle of Man. It was great!  never been in first class lounge  before,  free JD and coke and what ever you like all paid for by Land Rover. 
Yeah, the SD1 is a very questionable vehicle, I'm not really in a position to criticise it as I don't know the full story.
That was a lucky break with the Disco though, Bones! I've only spoke to him a couple of times, he is a quiet chap.
