A wonderful car! I drove a "75" a "105" and a "100" for many years, just a superb ride, I did fit large radial tyres on mine though, the brakes were superb, and the "roverdrive" freewheel system was a joy to use. Chris B.
@@SandyRabagliati-wd2iu There are quite a lot of differences, engine size, number of carbs, disc brakes or drum, but they are all basically the same body with more or less extras, but they are all wonderful cars, except maybe the 60, which is a bit underpowered. Chris B.
... first drove one of these at 11 years of age, like steering a ship. Built like tank with similar fuel consumption. Like going for a ride on the back of a happy Hippo. 😁
I had to lament.Anyone that remembers cross ply tyres is of a certain age.When radials came the the thing it was frowned on to mix the two on a car for good reason but even into the 70,s you could still choose them way before Kwik Fit ( rip off) was around.

I loved those cars. Really beautiful.

I tried one on radial tyres.
Couldn't steer it!
@@tooleyheadbang4239 I bought some Remould quality XJ6 tyres, which are quite wide, and found them acceptable once I was over 5 MPH.
What's the dîfference between the "75" "90" "100" and "110"?

I learned to drive in my dad's 95. Happy memories.
Beautifull example. My grandfather had one like it, and I was very impressed by the tools in the dashboard.😁
Absolutely love Derek, his manner is so charming and truly Endearing
Back in 1969/70 I had Rover 110, two tone grey red upholstery, heavy old car to drive good fun though.
What a beautiful car, l like the addition of the chrome trim from the side lights to the rear wings surely that isn’t standard !!!!
Yes it is, all the trim is stainless steel.

Trouble is that the cross plys look so right on this car.
@@levelcrossing150 agreed, cross plys look great but after going over to radials and the vast improvement in the ride I won't be going back!
Brilliant vid thanks
Lovely. There appears to be two slats missing from the grille.
