It's not easy getting Rover merchandise, plenty of MG stuff.

I've got a couple of T shirts and a sweat shirt with ROVER on, but even most of those are sold out now, unless you are King Kong's bigger brother or a Gnome!

I remember nearly buying one of those about 7 years ago just after I bought my first 75.

This may only be of academic interest, but for the record they were originally sold by:

Markus Obrist
Rover Group Switzerland AG
Industriestrasse
CH-5745 Safenwill
Switzerland

The cost back then was SFr89 (about £40) ex p&p!

I only remember this lot as I finally deleted the contact from my PDA yesterday (but of course still had a backup). Spooky.

They do very occasionally appear on ebay. I've seen one in the last year.

Best of luck in your quest.
