Alas though the weather is crap and there is still traces of salt on the road:mad:

Great machine to go camping with, bags of room, National?:roll:

Probably about the only Rover I'd ever want to own!

Lovely looking example you've got :)

Vitesse diff is a 3.08:1 on a manual, early Vitesse / later Vandenplas EFi's autos are 2.84:1 diffs with a 3 speed non lock up auto box
.
She cruises really well, have done 600 miles + in a day no problem, however petrol was cheaper then..........

Well the cav is waiting for new suspension to stop the wheels scrubbing... I don't fancy a 450 mile round trip on ol' scrapey, but 2 tanks of super unleaded isn't ideal either

Last of the great Rovers. Beautiful expamle Roy. Im only just getting slightly more in mpg in the Monaro. Think that sort of MPG is quite liveable really.

I've also been for a ride in an ex-royal protection squad one, blanking plate over 1st gear, gun boxes in the arm rest and boot, extra plating also. It scared the living crap out of me. Super fast
