I've spent a lot of the last 20 years researching 1960's Rovers, usually in dusty registers, the thought of plugging one in to get history is new to me .

I will mail Reebs, I do know him from our involvement with the Joint Rover Clubs etc. I wasn't aware there were more details available. All fascinating stuff.

Will PM you shortly on the other issue.

It's curious how MGR stockpiled and used some of the cars they built before selling them onto Joe Public e.g some models were shipped to Bermuda, to appear years later back in the UK on registered on 2008 plates. Certain UK dealerships aquired ones with delivery miles only and held onto them for many years. Those ones command high prices circa £30,000
