I’ll probably regret this but I couldn’t resist. Found it on YouTube, of course - a weird guy and his beloved Rover P5B.

That was the last of the Rover tanks, a last despairing cry from the Rovers of old before they tried to become modern and hip. You can see the close relationship between the P5 and the Rover 90 of the fifties - my father had one of those so I sort of understand this guy’s obsession. They were the most solid thing on the road and never let you down, after all.

All that was to disappear with the advent of the Rover 2000, a wild foray into the future for the company, followed by the long decay under the thumb of the British Motors Corporation, and then the apparent rebirth as all that was left of that disintegrating organization. But that was the Rover name only - for a real Rover you have to go back to the days of the Rover P5…

Anyway, take a look at the video and wonder what it’s all about.
