OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Thread Like Summary - My Rover Baron 45

I was given this Rover Baron 45 by a relative. I've detailed it up a bit. It's a 1976 model, seems to be in good Nik. I stripped it down and got rid of the lawn mulch stuck around the cooling fins. It starts second pull. Oil is black so will change it. Owner was a tight arse so it's probably the original oil from 1976. I'm looking for an air filter

Back when Rovers were pure quality. That yellow engine against the pearl blue was a striking combination. When did Rover decide red base and black motor was the way to go?

That is one of the cleanest original Baron's I have ever seen! Very nice.
Air filter is the standard rover snorkel filter A03189.

Rover changed to red in 1981 when they released the new generation Rancher. My collection stops at 1979 for that reason
