All machines go into vacuum as part of a leak test, generally around 20 minutes. It’s possible to get to 20 minutes and the vacuum is then held for a couple more minutes but there’s no guarantee that there is no small leak, after this point the machine will just refill. Keeping an eye on actual vacuum readings throughout the vacuum stage is more of a help if there is a small leak.

'Marmite' Possibly one of the most famous 75 tourers produced! left the production line as the last of only Three Rover 75 tourers produced in Trophy Yellow. 48 hours later Longbridge closed. The last sold ordered 75 Tourer. Paid for by the Phoenix Four and handed over by John Towers to the Warwickshire Northampton Air ambulance service as a Rapid Response vehicle
