hi, it was purchased as 1952 75 but the young owner was not sure. After speaking to a very experienced Rover owner on FB Group he informed me it is a 1959 75 and i tend to believe that as he has many of these cars and knows what he is talking about but for Registration purposes perhaps more research will have to be done to make sure exactly what model it is. I bought the car unseen and will be with me on Monday so can do a proper check when it arrives and see if we can get to the bottom of it,. Pic of it leaving the old owner this morningWelcome! Thats not a 75, its at least a 90 - grille, high sidelights and tell tales. Higher boot line, 3 piece rear window.
This is a 50 model 75, with a 90 grille added - note the very different guards.
Will do thanks. Any idea where the engine number would be located? on this oneAs soon as you have it, post the chassis and engine numbers, that will enable a definitive dating.
Many thanks for replyChassis no is on a plate in a door jamb. Engine no should be on a flat surface above the water pump.
