I bought this Rover during 1955 and kept it to 1974. Al those years and only have 2 photos of my Rover. The original   registration number was   KS 308.

Thanks,

Hi Trishanne and japeflakes.  Excellent work.  Very good indeed and many Thanks

I'm posting the other photo of my old Rover, I did a total restoration during all of 1957 and half way into 1958. Of course I repainted the car and the new colour was '' Conought Green '' also called '' Hawthorn Green'' a very rich dark green. It looked fantastic. BTW, I worked for a large Rover dealership in Melbourne, many many years ago.

Be good if a new background can be given to the photo instead of the corrugated iron sheets.

Thanks again

I gave her a paint job before she went out on the road. I hope the colour is OK
