My new launch spec Conny - Page 3

The idea with having an early example is to keep it original. What´s wrong with the crowns. Suit the car very well. My crowns were a bit marked but managed to get a spotless set off an old boy in Stockholm who´s car had been crashed. They´re hanging in the garage for -special- occassions

The plate I was forced to change as it´s registered in Sweden

The original smileys are on the garage door.....

Thanks for all the comments everyone - i am going to keep the car as original as i can but i worked in sales at a Rover dealer when the 75 was launched & our demo had serpents on it and i much prefer them to the crowns, even the brochures showed them with serpents fitted. I was thinking about parking sensors & a wood wheel but decided against this so as to try keep it near to standard.
I fitted the wheels today & i think they really set the car off.

Looks good and as you say right for the era of the car.

Lovely car and the serpents look fab. IMO and only MO I think crowns are hideous
