Hi DeeJay and Tim,
Just a point to ponder,
Regarding the rubbers its rather unlikely that the later rubbers have been fitted as why would one go to all the trouble to grind off the welds on the outside of the side plate and then punch out the original half inch square bar stubs so as to fit the later style rubbers, especially when the push on SB rubbers are readily available.
I'll have a bet here and say that it's infact a Rover 45, but as you've said DJ that the rear rail will tell us the full story.
Tim, can you please so kindly supply us with a close up photo of the rear rail around the clutch area ? and just in saying that I have had another really close look at the existing photos on this thread and it looks like the silver and black sticker is not there, so I wonder if there are two rivet holes remaining (which we can't see)or if someone has gone to all the trouble and welded them up, but I doubt it, but then again previous owners will do anything to try and add extra dollar value to make it look like a newer machine.
Cheers,
BB
