Default Just want to share this with you all

Hi all, I have shared this elsewhere on the web as it needs to be seen I acquired a box of ephemera and have just been going through it all, Lots of Sphere /Royal family magazines from C1930+ through to the coronation and all.

Here is one of the adverts I found inside, I just thought I would share it with you all �� it is so sad that it says, One of Britain's fine cars!

Back when the original picture was issued, Rover was a very high end brand, the R40 does not come anywhere near I'm afraid.

As a kid growing up, the posh cars were Rollers, Bentleys, Jags and Rovers.

Rollers and Bentleys come no way near a Jag or a Rover.
