Default Lovely Rover

Thought some of you might like this, spotted it today, sorry about quality of pics, taken on an old phone. Also the chrome seemed to act like a mirror. Lovely car, and proof that the sun does shine in Scotland

What a lovely old car - not too sure about the white sidewalls. I can't remember if they came like that or not

That's gorgeous. The P5B is one of my favourite old Rovers. The P6, is also a stunning machine Nice spot

Colin has certainly been around today as he arrived at my house around 5:30pm this evening in this very car. The whitewalls were not original and don't do the car any favours.

That car is utterly beautiful, and in single colour too
Its a year younger than my one and a fair bit better looking too. The cream Connoly hide is so much nicer than the brown, and REAR head rests, most didn't even have front (mine has, and the front zero torque winders still work perfectly!))

Is it on ER70/VR15's?

Not a fan of whitewalls on these.... but still a wonderful vehicle.

Love it

totally Sub Zero.

That's only a little less than I paid for mine 32 years ago, I still moaned about petrol prices then, but at least 100 octane was available at the pump. If I remember correctly, I could buy 2 gallons for about what a litre costs now.
