The boot plinth was plain (No 'Rover' moulded into it on the first few cars) These are Uber rare as most were changed prior to sale.

I would have bought this when it came up for sale originally but was too slow in messaging the previous owner.
While I would still love to take it on at this moment in time I cannot. I have been off work for a little while with depression hence not being here much and all my money has gone towards bills. If this was any other time I would have taken it on. I actually spoke to my garage and they were happy to do the cambelts and brakes and get it MOTd and sorted. I hope that this car finds a suitable home. |

Thomas I am truly sorry to hear you have not been well and from one enthusiast to another I wish you well and that things get better for you very soon.
I am also amazed that no body has bought this car and am so hoping it goes to a club member so it can receive the care it deserves. Last edited by Norman2CV; 9th August 2021 at 16:46.. Reason: Spelling ! |

The numerical part (last six digits) of a pre-production chassis number will begin with '00', whereas all other normal production examples begin with '10'. This is the only firm way of telling, as all other parts can be swapped between cars.
Check the chassis plate, screen plate and stamping on top of the OSF suspension turret

I am working long hours so simply dont have time to take to an auction. I am going to advertise it elsewhere but unfortunately to people outside the club it is just another old Rover so I hate to think what may happen to it. Atleast I tried!
