I have that issue of Autocar Lewis. I won't post up a scan in case of copyright issues but PM me if you would like a copy.

The same issue also has a road test using S752LJW. Anyone know what happened to it?

>>>The thing that makes ovp special is that it's a pre production poverty spec.<<<

So the only thing OVP has going for it, is the fact that the car has nothing going for it whatsoever? ???

Ha ha I know it doesn't make sense but the base models get lost pretty quick but hopefully this one will now last for a long time

Oh!!!! only if the face-lift cars looked like R55 or something like. Just look at that wonderful Grille A proper ROVER look.
Can you tell us more about R55 in that photo. Looks a bit of a photo shop product, but very much on the lines that the face-lift should have been for the 75and not what we ended up with.
I have never seen that Photo before and must have missed out on something along the way.

Telfer.

check out the original article on ARonline. in the comments you will see a certain mr woolley (the 75's designer) say that the clay model was real but the 75 in the background wasn't!!! apparantly the clay model survived until about 4 years ago when it was destroyed!!!
