The Rover P4 and P5s were very popular farmers cars, one of my friend's father had the drivers window on his P5 broken and took it to have it replaced. The garage owner, a good friend, rang him to come and check it out. The spare sent was for the coupe, and the fitter had put it in, it was about 4 inches short of the top. They had a laugh about it, then it got properly fixed.
The early P4 had some very odd things, a free wheel clutch for a start. That was a heavy car, why you would ever want to remove the engine braking from the behemoth, which didn't have brilliant brakes anyway, I don't know. Column gear change was another thing you had to work at to learn to love. There used to be so many around, now I suppose they are like hen's teeth.
