Thought it was about time to join, having bought a Brigade Red P6B through the Personal Exports Department of Rover on 27 August 1970.
The car was delivered by Henlys Piccadilly registered PXC 182J and after using it for a year in the UK, it was across to Europe: Belgium Holland Germany Denmark Norway Finland Sweden Denmark Germany Switzerland Italy Yugolavia Greece across to Israel and then shipped home to Melbourne.
It has also seen various parts of the southern states of Australia over the last four and a half decades.
For various reasons it was unused for a number of years. It also served as early transport for my son and daughter. But has done only 157,000 miles.
Car was repainted in 1984 and at the end of 2014. Refurbished the Buckskin leather using Liquid leather products earlier this year. Numerous mechanical components have been replaced over the journey.
Now on club plates it is very much a leisure time vehicle.
Tried unsuccessfully to upload photos which appeared to be too large.
Cheers
Mike
