Sound deadening / insulation
Just noticed on my Cowley car the insulation panel on the front of the plenum chamber is in three pieces. On my 51 reg car it is in one pice; I had the cut it to remove the servo. Was this a Project Drive modification?
Also, I note there is a clamp securing the lower end of the shannon tube, my Y reg car did not have this. Incidently the trumpet shaped steel inlet pipe for the shannon tube is missing on my Cowley KV6 should anyonr breaking a car be able to supply one with fittings. (I can't find it illustrated on Rimmers' site, not that it's likely they would have it). |

I tried to find this in Reebs fantastic illustrated summary, but what about the former "Velveteen" soft-feel finish to the inside door body surround that was replaced with a very standard black grained rubber surround. Was this post Cowley build or another victim of "Drive"?

A great list!
I have a couple more to add, apologies if they've already been covered by other posters. 1. Front footwell carpet removals I think this happened in early 2003 (I've owned two '52 plate 75s that have had the carpet, but I have yet to see an '03 plate that has the carpet in the footwells. With carpet Without carpet 2. Rear of the front seats (Classic and Club only) My last 2002 Rover 75 had a plastic facing to the rear of the front seats, whilst 2001 Rover 75 has velour. With velour Without velour The plastic in the footwell is a particular bugbear of mine. And once you've seen it, you can't unsee it. Cheers, Andrew
