Major restructuring of BL following the Ryder Report resulted in the SD1 production line being moved to the former Morris plant in Cowley in 1981. The Solihull plant was turned over to produce Land Rover models. In 1981 the beginning of Project XX, a venture between BL and Honda for a new executive car, was announced, and it would become the Rover 800 Series. The whole of 1981 attracted 774 American sales.
