There are quite a few posts on here about the boot mounted spare wheels. Now, I know that Series Land Rovers had bonnet mounted spares, but did any other cars have boot mounted spare wheels? I'm not thinking about the older 30s & 40s cars that might have had them fitted into the vertical bootlids, but cars that were around in the P6's era, ie the 3-box style of cars.
Was it a Rover peculiarity (perhaps speciality is a better word?), spawned from Land Rover practice and a practical solution to the issue of the P6's small boot? After all, they (Rover) had redesigned the P4 a few years after its introduction to provide a bigger boot, and no doubt that issue was still in the deigners' memories at the time.
Or were there others as well (excluding those who put a wheel on a bootrack, ie some Triumph Spitfires etc.).
