An electrician in Milton Keynes Jon Myrtle runs two HAs as his daily workhorses. Think he's had one of them from new, but of not it was nearly new.

Saw this beauty at Pendeen today. A DVLA MOT check shows current mileage at 17,805. Being a 1980 Vantage Volante car it would have been a special order as the Volante Vantage was not in general production until mid 80's, a low volume car of which less than 200 were made

For some reason that too simple front spoiler in combination with the flared arches always looked cheap to me. Messing about with a beautiful body otherwise.

Alerted by the sound of something 'proper' approaching, in hope I managed to fumble my phone out of my pocket just in time to take a blurred picture of a sharp looking - and terrific sounding - Rover P5 leaving Tenby's South Beach car park this evening. Was registered 1 ROV too.
