Hi Rossf,

I reckon you're on the money as those holes are a dead giveaway and as such then the motor may still be the original unit fitted. If Tim could get the code of the motor cowling then we'd get an even clearer picture to what this one may be. One way or the other the chassis ID has been removed as they were one of two designs either a riveted ally plate stating Rover Australia or a metalised sticker which was used on the very last Rover Reds as is the one pictured with the rearward facing clutch lever. They also had the 75db noise rating sticker at that point stuck on to the rear rail,

Cheers,
BB
