My daily driver, the SD1 ran out of MOT the day before the show
I've had enough Rovers now not to worry about rust - they all rot out in the end, to try and stop it is only to delay the inevitable :roll:

Indeed. It is certainly 3500RU. It's been on the car since 1974.

Sorry, didn't mean to put anbody's nose out of joint. Tidily presented car with a great plate. I didn't know that UK plates with four digits existed. Is the lucky Mr Osborn a forumite? Has the car sported it's long bonnet scoop since 1974 too, or is that a later addition?smokin1942

I was chatting to the owner of 3500 RU on Sunday - I don't know if he's all that into computers.
He did mention serving in Korea ( & Malaya) when he did his National Service stint which makes him at least 10 years older than my 70 years. That earned my respect!

Charles is at least 80 as you correctly summize. I aspire to be as up and running as he and (the even older) Alec Wallis are when I get that far

He's owned the car from almost new (1971). There have been many mods over the years. The only option it doesn't have now are electric windows. Superb motor car.
