Thanks, it looks more roomy inside that I thought.

 

[Just smiffy]

Must be like driving with a view through a letterbox….

beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder…

It was recently featured on Bangers and Cash. I don't think it reached reserve.

Repeated last night (again) went to £6500 in sale later sold at reserve of £10000 finished up in Scotland I believe small fortune spent on restoration

I’d sooner stick pins in my eyes than drive round in that , just because you can doesn’t mean you should , I’d have loved it as the original car

I started learning to drive in Dad's 3 litre version of that Rover on the Isle of Whithorn where my first lesson included Dad's not very patient advice that the intention of driving was to 'avoid pedestrians, not chase them off the cliffs into the bloody sea', and after an episode at home where I scraped the entire nearside [back 3 inches or so of wing, passenger front and rear doors and leading couple of inches of rear wing] trying to get the car out of the [narrow] garage one Sunday morning, I bought a Van in which to learn! If the damage to the Rover had been less, he would have killed me, as it was, it reduced him to tears ...

They rusted like mad, rear wheel arches, door bottoms front wings, a car of its time.
The whole vintage vehicle market will shortly decline, we are dyeing out.
Not the investment they were once.
As for this vehicle what can I say, a lost opportunity to restore a piece of history would be kind

I for one love it and so I imagine would Johnny Vegas. Too much conformity nowadays not enough individualism.

That lovely Rover 3.5 V8 - I bet it purrs along in overdrive. Amazing.

 

[Northernraider]

Could be a lot worse

 

[Ex-caravanner]

Looks like something from Thunderbirds. Someone's pride and joy. If you put it next to mineI know that'd get more attention!
