Summary
[edit]
| Description |
I bought this from a classic motor memorabilia store yesterday for just $10. It was registered to a 1984 Rover 3500 Vitesse auto, that has been unlicensed since 1 June 1987. The fact that it lasted less than 3 years on UK roads means it was most likely exported to New Zealand that year - in the late 1980s lots of Rovers and Jaguars were brought over here from the UK - with its UK reg plate still on, which is presumably how this ended up here. GP is a South West London code, and Roy Smith Garage comes back to an address in Wallington in that area. Google Maps thinks Roy Smith Garage is on Elgin Road, but that site is now a used car dealership with no signs of a MOT garage. LinkedIn suggests Roy Smith was/is around the corner on Stafford Road. There is a big Geyfords Mercedes/Nissan showroom in there now, but it definitely looks like it could have been an Austin Rover dealer. Does anyone else know more? |
