I’ve been confined to Barack’s with a chest infection so I’ve been watching YouTube on TV quite a lot.
Last night I came across a programme from Australian TV featuring the Rover SD1 which I have, a lovely Vitesse model fully restored.
I was gobsmacked when a photo of my car appeared in shot then again at the closing credits on the programme. It is of course the Moonraker Blue one and the photo was taken down at Troon shore in Ayrshire.
The exact location apparently was a concrete roadway built during the war for landing craft, or so I’m told.
On the day I arrived very early to catch the low tide and had to place blocks of wood to get over a huge gap on the massive concrete plinths to get the car in the optimum position.
I have one of the shots printed in canvas sitting on my desk at home.
The TV programme have obviously aquired the photo from one of my forum posts somewhere.
Here’s a link which I copied from another forum which a kind member had posted
