Sounds as if that may be where a lot of the records I referred to ended up! At least they should be preserved there, although it could be decades before anyone looks at them.

Interesting discussion, and I am learning all the time. I too would be interested in Mike's book if indeed it refers to all 80" production.

Once again thanks Diana, you are quite a font of knowledge.

At work I have responsibility for policy review and publication on the intranet and am constantly receiving documents with "English (U.S.) " as the language setting.

If I don't re-set the language to English (U.K.) and spell check it before publication, I can guarantee that within 5 minutes of publication, one of the medical staff specialists will send me an email complaining about the spelling.

Hence the fount and my pedantry (not paederasty as mentioned elsewhere)

Cheers

I appreciate the English/US differences, (and I abhor the latter) and from one who has had a reasonable schooling, (even though I am but a mere fireman) I am familiar with both a pedant and a paederast. Although I have no particular familiarality with the latter.

The fish plates and bumber bars on these cars were subjected to much abuse and in my case I decided to cut them off , badly twisted and bent . I could have had new plates guillotined at the local place but you need to weld them in place. This job means you need to upside down the chassis .. hard for me as it's on 4 wheels . It's a job for the bare chassis stage , where it's easy to get at things .

The aluminium bulkeads : I put forward my theory that they were after market some time back.. not many agreed with me . At the very least Rover would have mentioned it in a service bulletin . British being what they are , you would think they would have notified their dealerships of the change . Still, a piece of paper may turn up .
