What’s the story Ray about the Viking head behind the rear centre head rest, it’s not OEM is it? A nicely presented V6, enjoy.

So, one non-OE mod has been spotted.

In deference to the Rover line and history the thought was, many Rovers ago, to offer a discreet reminder to followers that a good car was in front where it should be.

I know these magnificent trophies can be obtained at various auto jumbles but this particular one came from that legendary Rover - the Doctor’s P4. It has now been in a similar position on every Rover I have had since my first in 1970. That was a 1967 Arden Green 2000 SC (UOY961F), sold to me by my retiring boss.

However, there is still one unidentified mod with similar history. Any takers?
