There are a lot on here around the 50 mark (me included last July :| ) which must reflect the '60s & '70s memories that we have as teenagers, either as family cars or seeing them about at the time.
O.K . I feel i need to confess as the thread has gone on for ages , and everyone else is being honest(ish) !
I'm not 25 , i'm 47 , so fit into that same set that caught the P6 bug in the late 70s early 80s . I just remember thinking how good my Dads 74 V8 sounded , and remember how totally miffed i was when He swapped it in for an Ital !
Sorry to all those i've met in person and they really did think i was 25 :shock:
I was 27 when I bought my 1975 rover shortly thereafter I was pulled over by the plod as they didn't believe some one so young could own such a car so must have stolen it .
I bought my 2000 when I was 18, bought a P5 and a P5B aged 20, and bought a 3500, aged 21. Now 23, and still have the 2000, which is undergoing work, and running a Scimitar SE6, in addition to my modern 75.
So, I'm relatively young!
Resisted posting on this but...
Don't see many my age.
Lots younger( nice to see) and a few older(expected?)
I was 65 in January and bought the Rover 2 years ago as a retlrement toy

It looks like I trundle in about 4th of the "more mature" members at 71 (but I've got another birthday coming up next month)
At the Whitewebbs Icebreaker meeting earlier this year I was chatting to a member, who I think doesn't use this forum, who is a clear decade+ older than I am!
So I'm just a kid really!
Almost 76 (11/24/1938) considered buying one in 1968 but no Rover dealers any where near me so bought a BMW 2002 instead. Finally got my first one, a 2000TC 1 1/2 year ago. Better late than never.
My user name is year of birth not age . Just turned 47 at the start of the month.
I had always liked the P5b coupe but the P6 just came about through somebody we know through work. The only time I've been in one before was when I was around 10 and a friends uncle took us for a run in his. I thought it was really weird with the spare on the boot lid.
