- Rover SD1. 351 Votes. That the Rover came top should not have been a surprise. It’s a consistent winner on AROnline and, in many ways, is by far the best car that BL ever produced.
- Range Rover. 176 Votes. It could be argued that the Range Rover is absolutely nothing to do with BLMC. It was largely developed by the Rover Company and, although the final two years of development were on Leyland’s watch, it was pretty much set in stone.
