[ROVERNET - UK] Rover 3500S C pillars

[phing]

Hi
 I lived in the UK in the early 70's a time of un ending strife and stoppages the motor industry and its sub suppliers . Rover were 
adept at doing the " Wots in the stores Arry , right bung it on and ship it out " routine all through their post war producton
 My P3 had all sorts of ' non standard ' items , starting with the old design  front suspension which was supposed to have been 
discontinued long before IKB was assembled. RVW only has one wing mirror , the holes for the second mirror are plugged with plastic 
pips .Original  Rover is an oxymoron and a fertile ground for anorak arguments .
 Cheers
