BMC Dan Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 These P4's on a farm on the Herts/Beds/Bucks borders have been a local landmark for many years but I've only got round to snapping them recently. 1959 Rover 75 and 1957 90 by BMC Dan, on Flickr1957 Rover 90 by BMC Dan, on Flickr1957 Rover 90 by BMC Dan, on Flickr1959 Rover 75 by BMC Dan, on Flickr1959 Rover 75 and 1957 90 by BMC Dan, on Flickr1959 Rover 75 and 1957 90 by BMC Dan, on Flickr1960 Rover 100 and unknown P4 by BMC Dan, on FlickrRover P4's by BMC Dan, on FlickrRover P4 by BMC Dan, on Flickr1960 Rover 100 by BMC Dan, on Flickr1960 Rover 100 and unknown P4 by BMC Dan, on Flickr1960 Rover 100 by BMC Dan, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete-M Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I rescued this a few years ago, but it ended up sitting on the driveway of a geezer I seriously fell out with. It's probably still there. It had been in a garage for 20 years, but it went when I chucked a battery and some fuel at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMC Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 nice pics, thanks for sharing. amazingly tough, they seem to survive quite well even when left to rot. Heres mine lurching around a corner last autumn! Hugely satisfying to drive even if they are a bit nose heavy particularly with the sixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Ross Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I have huge love for these, especially the 1957 90 in the first shots... TBL 661. I would give the old girl a good home. My second favourite colour scheme, next to two tone Brown/Mushroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morris_ital_lover Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Out of interest... does anybody else recognise the Aunties at the top of the page from Practical Classics, I could swear they made rust in peace ages ago? You can't beat a good Aunty for being English motoring personified in metallic form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yo! Brill photos Dan! Thanks for getting them. I love when photos like these are taken, it gives us a view of something that might soon disappear forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheggers Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 There's a house on the A22 near East Grinstead which has had a few P4's rotting away in the front garden for years - Here's a pic I managed to grab through the passenger window a couple of weeks ago...

Hi, I came past this place today and they are now gone, only recently been cleared because where they stood is still apparent. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
