    Ah, the only thing I can imagine looking at those pictures is the back doors falling off.

    And a great racer too.

    Possibly the last proper Rover.

    Definately the last proper Rover. My first car was one (Series two, V8 EFI).. I loved it, when it was working. We'd had it for about 6 years before I got a hold of it, but unfortuately it was lent to a family.. aquaintance.. who neglected it badly. Before then it was remarkably bulletproof.
    Life's too short to drive bad cars.

    Got that picture from the Rover press access two years ago (have to check if the site is still "alive" )

    According to the licence plate it is indeed from 1986. Never trust a press site for accurate info....
