Saturn Simon ◊ 2005-12-23 17:50	Rover [P4], possibly a 105R.
antp ◊ 2005-12-23 17:52	"possibly" = a 105R rather than a 2000, or it was a 3rd solution?
ben68 ◊ 2005-12-23 17:59	105R means the car had 105 HP (as the 105S), available with the 6 cyl. 2600cc engine only I think. -- Last edit: 2005-12-23 18:00:08
antp ◊ 2005-12-23 18:02	Rover 2600 then?
ben68 ◊ 2005-12-23 18:05	If it's a 105R, yes. But I cannot assess it.
dsl ◊ 2011-12-11 14:38	This was down as 1953 Rover 105S which is impossible as 105S launched Oct 56, so have changed to unknown P4. Anyone any ideas? Is it even a P4 - the rear outline looks wrong and the colour split?? A 50s coupe of some sort?
cortina.chris ◊ 2011-12-11 17:02	If it is a rover how about an early/mid fifties 75 coupe, the rare pininfarina body maybe?
chris40 ◊ 2011-12-11 17:28	I think it's an ordinary 75 [P4], from 1952-4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rover_75_2-Door_Saloon_1952.jpg (the 2-door bit is nonsense, of course).
