Vendor's comments:

Brakes and steering checked over, front calipers re-conditioned, new oils and filters fitted, HT leads/plugs, etc, engine bay detailed to s high standard, all chrome work re-chromed, interior 2 front seats recovered in leather, carpets and leather refurbed all to as original as possible. Totaling over £2.400. 12 months MOT, V5 full history file.

One of the last Rovers before BL reduced the weight and quality - view & make your opinion.
