3423 AC was Aug 58 to Sept 59 series, which had reached 3822 by 31 Dec 58. So this is a Nov/Dec 58 plate, almost certainly factory issued. Launch was 22 Sept 58 but proper production did not start till Jan 59 while they sorted out problems - particularly inadequate pillar strengthening to cope with heavy doors, so body distortion and cracking windscreens. This is probably not one of the six pre-pros which were the only proper cars built by the time of launch, as it does not have the pre-pro ROVER wing badge and does look as if it has proper grille badge. But probably a "soft-build" ahead of the proper production start. |
