Primrose yellow 75
Primrose yellow 75 spotted in Atherstone this lunchtime, it stopped to give way to me near a mini roundabout. Belong to anyone on here?

Chris the owner of Atherstone Rover Service Centre (at Atherstone) has just taken delivery of a Primrose 75 last week, it may have been him or Martin Green.

We were literally round the corner from the garage when 'we met'. In fact I went past the garage on my way through the town. I will be driving through Atherstone again in the next week or so will look out for it.

There is another Primrose further along the A5 at Wilnecote. Steve, the owner of the said beast bought it to the PoL meeting on Saturday Left to Right Martin, Steve and Andy's "Primies", seen here with Lewis and Jules Photo courtesy of another 75 club member who's name I've forgotten - apologies. |

I'm almost certain it wasn't one of the three in the photo as it wasn't on private plates and it didn't have serpent wheels. Must be the other one you have mentioned. Will be passing through both Wilnecote and Atherstone on Tuesday, possibly Wednesday of next week so will be keeping an eye out. If I see it , i'll give him a toot and a wave. |

That’s great news, there really aren’t that many around these days. If you get a chance I’d love to know the VIN to add it to the build database as there are lots of Primroses missing from the records.

Of course I will….. we saw Andy at the NEC at the weekend and on the way home, my wife said we need to get back into the shows and she would love another primrose…. But as we all know they are a little hard to find. Then on Monday I was at work when she sent me a link for the advert…. and the rest is history shall we say.
What are the numbers now of those still in existence?? Last edited by Steve Powell; 17th November 2023 at 21:11.. |

There’s no way of knowing I’m afraid
