Hi Dave, probably the pre 1950 reg chap Andrew McGovern? is best to talk to?

There is a strong possibility that your car was sold by T. Baker & Sons, 35 & 36 Friar Street, Reading, who were the main Rover agents, RD being the code for Reading.

I spoke in the 1960s with the 90 year old ex manager of Bakers( in the 1930s ) and he mentioned that Bakers were the only local Rover agent, your car registration is only a couple of hundred registrations after my Snowdrops. Sorry can't help any more. Chris
