Diesels 5117Silk Why is there alwyas this "performance low down" argument? I have two cars, a 1.5...

Yours must be a very early Cowley built one - it'll have had black skirts and bumper bottom strips - Longbridge ones are body coloured. I'm told that the Longbridge ones are better buttembled than the Cowley ones. Mine (V reg, Cowley) was one of the first to have rover stamped on the locking wheel nuts.
Diesels 5116Well, yesm, it is getting on a bit like all out pool cars. But this...
