The problem, like Steve has encountered, is that all tyre outlets don’t have a say in what they get. Tyres will be ordered by either popular sizes for stock or by special request and they won’t know any date codes until they arrive leaving them with stock. Most people won’t care about the date and cars that are used daily and often will replace their tyres approximately every 2 years anyway so well within the date even if a year old when fitted.

'Marmite' Possibly one of the most famous 75 tourers produced! left the production line as the last of only Three Rover 75 tourers produced in Trophy Yellow. 48 hours later Longbridge closed. The last sold ordered 75 Tourer. Paid for by the Phoenix Four and handed over by John Towers to the Warwickshire Northampton Air ambulance service as a Rapid Response vehicle
