As it's her Majesty's Jubilee year, a friend of mine has just found the last of 2 Jubilee's left:eek: He was at POL so you may have seen it:cool:

I saw it at PoL Ronnie, in fact Terry mentioned he was looking for it and its owner when I was chatting to him, was able to point him in the right direction when I met up with him again a little later.

I quick screenshot of some yet to be edited video:-

I saw another during 2018 at a meet at Gaydon, a screenshot from the video:-

Rather a rare colour IAL Jubilee, only 18 were known to be produced including 5 Rover 75 Saloons and 1 Rover 75 Tourer.

That one at Gaydon is the other owned by Gary, I happened to polish it for that weekend:cool:

If you'd laid hands on it correctly it would have more chrome.

Wouldn't let me Ian:D:D

What a spoilsport.

Rover colours never cease to Suprise me , where do people find these rarities ?

Well, funny story about this particular one Jon, Gary found the other jubilee a couple of years ago, and after a bit of digging, realised he had the only one of two known 75's left. A 1.8T was scrapped, 2 V6's unknown, 2 diesels, one of which he had, were left. He found the owner of this one on facecloth a while back and asked if would sell it. He wouldn't. Had it for years, pride and joy etc. Anyway, the week before POL, the owner was travelling north and stayed overnight at a Premier Inn on the A1 near Newton Aycliffe. He tried to start the car and it sounded wrong. It had a goosed pulley. Fed up. his wife told him to get rid and get something modern for a change. So he rang Gary and asked if he was still interested. Well, Gary put the trailer on his Landy and drove straight down to pick it up.
A deal was struck, Pulley fixed, a few extras added via T4 from our friend in the North, and another lives.
Right place right time I guess:shrug::D
