[ROVERNET - UK] Facebook Rover group

Actually...
Dad is Royce's half brother.
Dad was/is the Rover fan.  He has a 67 2000 automatic.
He had a 55 90, and after many years convinced Royce they were superior to 
Holdens.
Thus it was that Royce bought a 55 90, which he converted to overdrive and a 
pendant brake pedal from a 105R that he wrecked (was green, I remember it). 
Meanwhile Peter had bought the 57 90, which he put an overdrive on (from a 
110 that had hit a pole at 80mph)(only time I have seen a bent radius rod on 
a P4), and later a 105 head.
He painted the 90 white, but it did end up crazing.
Once he did the 90 there was no stopping him.  He bought the 16, and a TC.
He converted the TC to a 2200, and either moved the engine in to an auto or 
converted an auto too - I wasn't as in touch in the 80s.
I didn't know he bought a P6B and a SD1 until I last saw him in Jan 2001, as 
part of a mainland trip.  I moved to Tasmania in 1989.
My first car was a 100.  I know P4s well.
I bought the TC in 1981.

Gwen is alive, but has some dementia.  She is in a nursing home in Toukley 
region.  They built the house in Toukley not Terrigal.
Jim Moule is a good bloke.
Royce was 84 when he died.  Gwen must be over 90.  My sister keeps in touch 
with her.
They never had children.
