dsl ◊ 2013-05-28 02:59	Genuine Dec 70 - Jan 71 issue plate, but nothing on check sites (I know the J looks suspect, but other issued suffixes don't give a match either). Features match 70-71, including pre-72 rear quarterlight. Has black vinyl roof (see fabric join in thumb). The car's role is the chauffeured car for a Very Senior Civil Servant who in S1 only had an elderly Rover 3-Litre and driver - /vehicle_599510-Rover-3-Litre-1967.html . Also noted that while Big Chief now has this DS420, in 1980 St Margaret the Compassionate (AKA Chico's pin-up girl) still had to make do with various Rover 3.5 Litres.
