Twenty years old today!
 

Sweden November 12, 2018.

On a Thursday 20 years ago today, november 12, this Lhd Arden Green Rover 75 left the "pre-production" assembly line at the Cowley plant and was shortly after shipped down to the International Press & Dealer Launch in Seville Spain. M001149 / S909XDA stayed in Spain as a demonstration car but was returned to UK in 2003. Luckily this car wasent written of by Rover. It stayed in private ownership in UK & France and in 2007 the car was sold to Sweden. Many of you surely remember the dedicated club member late Dr. Alan Cranston alias Roverowner. He was the owner of M001149 between the years 2009 - 2013.
My car since 2013. It still runs wonderfully and now has 68.960 miles (today) on the clock. Search for S909XDA to read about the car.

It looks lovely. Did the prayer matt come as an extra or was it deleted in Project drive?:D:}

Congratulations Christian, a significant milestone for the car and yourself. Have a great day :bowdown:

Looking good for its age. Happy birthday.

Thanks! The matts - no Rover extras but premium IKEA store items...fits a Rover 75 nicely!!

Hi Christian, good to see Alan's car still going strong:bowdown: Last time I saw it, & Alan with Kirstie & family, was his last tour around the UK:cool: I'll see if I can find some pics:cool:

I thought it was for a 'magic carpet ride'.:D
