Must admit my soft top and/or topless Rovers get a lot of favorable, almost
lustful looks and comments, from young women. I'm not sure I'd relish the
attention from the types of women, however, if I was still in the market for
the attention. Most seem to be under 20, dress in a way that used to
indicate their professional status, and have more body piercings than my
Rover by a factor of 3 or 4. Sometimes, even the bodywork on the Rover is
in better condition. Might be that most of my recent in town trips seem to
be to Walmart. Definitely not the Abercrombie and Fitch crowd in that
parking lot.
Yes, a Series Rover seems to attract overt attention from the Ladies, but
I'm not sure that term accurately describes them.

1965 88 parts car, slowly sinking into the lava.
196? 88 hard top, possibly 'phoenix' if it rises, it will
certainly be from ashes or at least a pile of rust
