Hello fellow Rover enthusiasts.
My name is Paul - I live in the Latrobe Valley in Gippsland about 180K’s (130miles) east of Melbourne.
My very first car was an Austin A40 Farina in 1967 - My first new car was a Mini Deluxe 998 - in 1969.
After that I joined the mass migration to Japanese Cars and with a few exceptions along the way such as a Hillman Minx - a Peugeot 504 and a couple of Holdens along with a brief dalliance with a Volvo P6B, followed by a number of Volvo 240’s (much respect) that has been my motoring life - I have also been a keen motorcyclist for the last 48 years but missed the heyday of Brit bikes!
Anyway, I arrived at a point where I wanted a nice classic car with all the chrome bits etc. and having always admired classic British Cars came upon a nice 1967 Rover P5 MKIII Coupe delivered new in Sydney.......
I am once again happy to be driving a piece of British Motoring History!
Cheers
Paul
