1975.  Fuel prices are per gallon.

Petrol 68.5p rolls out at £ 5.89 / gallon today according to inflation calculator.

Which is £1.29 per litre.  I paid this today for unleaded at Asda.  Same for 'petrol' as 1975.

A year ago we were around £1.02/ litre for a short time tho.

The old SM mag staff car P5B V8 koop from around 1979/80.

Over 40 years on I would remove the 'shower-curtain-rail' bumpers but keep the rest just as it is.

DVLA says 'tax due Feb 1988', - anyone have further info / later pics as to it's later history?  Presumed scrapped.

Think rover was scrapped, there's been a couple of issues over the years giving details on past projects.

Hopefully the mag will resume again post lockdown.

When I was kid we had a rhyme.

Trebor mints are minty bit stronger.

Stick them up your ass and they last a bit longer.

Based on the advert for them at the time.
