In Life on Mars the detective show set in 1973 the first episode features several Rover 75's. Does anyone know where these cars are now? Or do you own one of them? Are they still on the road?

The DVD of first 3 episodes is free with Next Weeks News of the World for those that want it or have never seen it.
Well worth watching IMO.
Then over the next 8 weeks all the episodes of the two series will be issued.

It is a great series, one of the best programs in recent years I think.
Lots of nice 60's & 70's cars in it as well!
