Having seen this car, It is in showroom condition, it would put new cars to shame.

Here are a few photos, although in the flesh it looks new

NICE CLEAN SPARE WHEEL WELL.

Clean? That's brand new that is. Lovely example Jim,very nice indeed.

An absolute beauty, well done there, reminds me of my lovely 618Si what a superb car, had it for 3 years only thing that needed changing was radiator due to rot at the base, done nearly 100K had a full service every year, everything worked as was intended to and an absolute peach of a Honda 16v single cam engine. White suits the car very well indeed, very well done, by the way the Honda 2.3 16v twin cam engine is by far the best of the engines on the 600 but expensive to buy at the time.

Beautiful, my all time favourite Rover. Still miss Betsy (mine). The 17s are absolutely perfect, always wanted them for ours! Truly a credit to you and I completely understand your passion. Cap doffed.

Should it not have twin exhaust?

The previous owner fitted a Longlife cat back SS system with a single pipe to preserve 'Q' car status, I will be returning it to original spec and changing to a twin pipe in the near future.
