Same here. Worth the effort of the wax and polish. Afterward I went out to do some gardening at the front of my house just so I could keep admiring it.

Seems there are more of them on the road here in N Ireland....
well round me every other car is a rover 75.

I painted my Union flags today on both of them. Came up a treat using Humbrol enamel paint and a tiny brush.

Replace the number plates with nice legal ones as the old ones where rash in my opinion......

Seeing as I couldn't get a Black/Walnut Steering Wheel I dyed my Smokestone one....

I know it looks shiny at the moment but it does dull up after use to a satin finish.

I used Grison/Magix Leather and Synthetics Spray, seems to have worked nicely! And not bad at £7.75...

Haven't fitted it yet as I'm allowing it to cure overnight. But a couple of pics anyway:







Ciao....
