Think I like the 'siverrove' V8 better.
I think its still available and a grand cheaper.

Poseidon is a bit gaudy for a Rover, I think? Expensive problem is you ever have even minor parking damage too. Colour's a personal thing of course.
It's not got mysterious unresolved check-engine codes either! That could end up by being very difficult/expensive to resolve, all the obvious having been tried.

How utterly drab though, owning a car in Starlight Primertallic, you soon yearn after one in an actual colour

Yes, it's the same one.

Here it is a few years ago on my drive.

And a few from early in my tenure

I note that there aren't any images from the rear in the current listing on eBay

This is a picture taken from a previous advert, after the v8 was sold by J1MBO

I presume it looks like this now.

Putting an original bumper back on would be fairly simple should you desire.

The owner may still have it and the standard R75 back boxes? Depends why, when and by whom they ere changed I guess.

Erm, surely the logical thing for the owner to have done was to cut out the exhaust shapes on the original bumper?!?

I mean, how likely are you to pick up a used Monogram V8 bumper with trims, or prep, spray, and get all the trims for a new bumper?
