The Anonymous Widower

A Nice Old Rover 3500

This Rover 3500 was parked in a street in Den Haag.

What is surprising now about this car, is how small it is.  It is a lot smaller than my Jaguar X-Type. 

The engine is also a 3.5 litre V8.  So for their day, they went very well.  It should also be remembered that the structure of the car was unusual with a strong steel frame covered in aluminium panels, which gave great strength and a lot of protections in accidents.

Princess Grace of Monaco was driving one of these cars when she had the accident that killed her.
