The vendor has provided the following:
The previous owner bought the Rover to be an Executive Tour Car for London, offering tours around the major sites for private parties.
In doing so, he added seat belts to the car so that all would be safe and comply with legal requirements for tour vehicles. He also restored the leather seats in the car.
As a business this did not take off and the car was never used as a tour vehicle.
In addition, the owner fitted a Kenlowe electric fan to help with any potential overheating. The fan can be activated manually from a switch under the steering column next to the fuel reserve switch.
He also said that the Reserve Fuel switch had been by-passed and no longer worked. He suggested that the car be fuelled when the fuel gage gets to about a quarter full to ensure plenty in the tank (so far, a suggestion I have followed)
My Ownership
I purchased the car on the July 2020 and looked to use the car as a classic car for my own pleasure and use on a regular basis and in addition maybe attend some car shows.
In the process of looking after the car I have:
- Replaced all the rubber suspension bushes (2020)
- Replaced all HT leads (2020)
- Replaced the leather differential seal (2020)
- Fitted additional Radio/CD player and speakers (2020)
- Fitted LED lights to front side lights and rear lights (2020)
- Repainted the car from burgundy to Rover standard colours of Oxblood Red and Silver Birch (2021)
- Replaced the car mats with custom made set (2021)
- Replaced the exhaust with a full stainless-steel system (2022)
- All water hoses replaced in the engine bay (2022)
- Wax oiled the underside of the car (2022)
- Overhauled the front brakes (2023)
- Replaced all four road tyres (2023)
- Replaced the accelerator cable (2023)
- Nearside rear subframe welded (2024)
The car runs on Unleaded petrol (E5) and does not need any additives to be added as a lead replacement.
