Good history file
According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis 845-05679-D was completed on 25th March 1971 and despatched the next day to supplying dealer Grose Limited of Northampton. Originally finished in Zircon Blue with a Silver roof and Beige leather upholstery, the Rover was road registered as ‘BBD 338K’ on 1st August 1971 and retained by the Titmus family for the first thirty-nine years of its life which is one of the reasons why the vendor believes the present odometer reading of 53,000 miles as representing the total covered from new. There are also numerous old MOTs on file dating back to July 1977 at 24,272 miles. Acquired by its last (fifth) registered keeper some seven years and 3,000 miles ago, the Rover has since benefited from the following: a stainless steel exhaust system, under bonnet blanket, fanbelt, leather upholstery food / conditioner, automatic gearbox / differential oil changes and new Spax rear shock absorbers (2016); replacement alternator, electric fuel pump and front suspension / anti-roll bar bushes (2017); fresh HT leads (2018); a top-end engine overhaul (including refurbished carburettors and a rolling road tune by JB Racing) plus full body re-spray (2019); new PAS belt, automatic gearbox fluid change, fresh Y bushes, overhauled rear wheel cylinders plus replacement brake shoes (2020); and the fitment of a Powerspark electronic ignition kit (2021). The rear bumper is not as smart as the rest of the brightwork
