I believe 105's still had drum brakes all round, so early hubcaps would match this model. Any more thoughts on this one? I'm happy to be proven wrong, I'm just a bit more curious about this one.
dsl ◊ 2011-12-08 04:09	Simply in terms of characters in the bonnet script, I think it reads Rover 123 X with a definite suffix letter, and google pictures has loads of 105 with round hubcaps. As 105 was only P4 with suffix letter (I think), p5coupe seems correct. So Oct 56-Sept 58 105R or 105S, before name change to just 105 afterwards. Any disagreement or preference for R or S?
