Thanks to the trip meter button trick, I've just learnt that my 75 engine was built in Cowley on the 24th week of 1999, ie between the 14 and the 18th of June 1999, among the early models (VIN 6,404).
Not so useful, but I love history, and this one - I hope so - will soon take place among the last sparkles of Rover legend.
