dsl ◊ 2024-08-13 14:33	We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided ROVER RANGE ROVER 1980 Registration number: CDE 149V Body type: Estate Colour: Blue Date of first registration: March 1980 Fenton is probably only its nickname. Looks like a Bowler conversion - maybe an early Tomcat rather than successor Wildcat which seems to have had van shape. But these were individual builds so no solid rules.
