Looking through the gallery, here and on other Rover sites, I notice some 3500's have a Rover badge on the front grille. Mine hasn't (3500 V8 auto 1974), should it?.....or is it personal taste? ???

Phil,
Series 1 cars had the aluminium grill with a (series 1) badge on it and series 2 (model year 1971) has the black plastic "egg box" grill and a Rover (series 2) badge on the bonnet.
Hope this helps.
Regards, John.

As John says and by the year on your car (1974) I presume your car to be a series II and as such it will have a ROVER viking ship badge on the leading edge of the bonnet (or should have).

Yep....that's what I've got thanks. Noticed some MkII owners have them on the grille as well though.

Phil,
I guess that badges are like medals - You can't have too many!
(Although, that means more to nick!)

I've had a V8 grill badge nicked and a bonnet badge slightly damaged by little vandals, but years ago I used to own a Ford Cortina 1600E which used to attract vandals / thieves like a magnet!
In latter years I've had a lump of concrete thrown at my back window which damaged boot lid and rear decker panel (now repaired) but (touch wood) no problems for several years now.
