My brother owned an 'H' reg 1969/70  35000 auto. It came with leather as standard and a strip speedo.

Pretty quick for it's time. :y

Great looking cars, always liked the look of them. Would have to be standard for me, the modified ones not for me, each to their own.

However I'd be very tempted to drop a decent V8 in there, make it a great sleeper with the exterior totally standard  :)

More likely Range Rover. The original Rover V8 made it into loads of cars TVR etc and went from 3.5 to 5.0 with various in between. It was decent enough for all the manufacturers that used it!  ;) ;)

(but I agree, there are better around these days)
