When I photographed it in Innsbruck I spoke briefly with the apparently English owner who had purchased this car new some two weeks before and then driven it to Austria for a family holiday. He was much enraged by the car's absence of reliability during its first two weeks on the road, and urged my parents (then the moderately proud owners of an aging Peugeot 504) to resist any temptation ever to buy a Rover 3500. Ever. My parents never did buy a Rover, though some time later I myself acquired a Morris Minor Traveller, manufactured several years earlier by another branch of the same company which proved relatively (though not totally) dependable.
