A couple of years ago, I talked to a guy that had a 1979 Rover 3500. I dont
know the car well, it is a rare car in Norway, but he told me they tended to
rust pretty well. We get like 5 tons of salt per square foot each winter. His
car was spotless. He polished it once a month, and every oil change ended up
under and inside the car. He sprayed the oil under the car, and inside the
doors, fenders hatch etc. It smelled a bit oily on the inside, but that could
also be from the leather conditioner.
