Well done young man! The radio blanking plate from my last Rover, a 1969 White P6B. That car was on the membership card of the P6 Rover Owners Club from, if memory serves, 1989.

The shelf it hides is where I leave the emergency hammer, coins for parking emergencies and the RAC card for the unmentionable ones (never necessary in that car in 8 years of ownership). Secured to the bottom of the dash by industrial Velcro, so will flap up without coming off.

What a nice car, my favourite shade of green, both inside and out

You can't beat it when you find a keeper, even better when it's on your doorstep

I'm pretty sure it found me Brian. Every time I passed it I could swear it winked at me. That's flirtin with danger is that.

I've a bit of work to do under the bonnet and I sort of feel the VIS motors are taking a breather amongst other things but there's plenty of time.

I've banned Celia from wearing her stilettos in it, those carpets are better than our lounge - sorry, withdrawing room.

V6 badge on the boot or extra key on the key ring?

Sorry Matthew, both now found (see above)! Three keys on that ring, one Yale, one separate deadlock and ignition.

How's things in Saltash? We lived there for 8 years (Essa Road) and loved every minute. Used to take trainees as a motorcycle instructor from the dockyard. Happy days in a wonderful place!
