"I restored SXF 723 in 1991. I found the Rover for sale with burnt valves and missing parts. It took a year to get it restored and back on the road. I decided not to replace the decals and insignia I found while stripping her 4 layers of paint. A good friend bought it from me in 1995." [Was this Jim Fiddes?]
