Description

Well, I can tell you this really did make my day! This was a really rather rough Rover P4 100, not a car you expect to look like this! So lovely cars, I bet almost all the other survivors on the roads are in lovely shiny pristine condition and are taken to the shows. I think this one would be a bit of a shock! Amazingly it's still on the roads, but I'm sure underneath the rough exterior, it's a very mechanically sound car. I don't know if this has just never been washed or what! It was actually parked on quite an upmarket street, so I bet the neighbours love it... I just love the rusty old roofrack and the way it's sort of two colours- a very dull green and then getting darker. The only thing letting it down is the A reg plate which isn't original- it was obviously a victim of "plate rape" in the early 80s where the original reg got sold off.

In a disabled parking spot- I wonder what the owner's like?
