The Rover P5 from "Call the Midwife", England TV Drama Series photographed as part of the re-creation of an image containing three different Rover P5's from the November 1995 Edition of Popular Classics (car) Magazine, at Burton Dassett Hills country park in Warwickshire, England.

Martin Robins, the new owner of the “Old Lady” at the front of the shot, tracked down the present owners of the other two P5’s and sought to arrange a re-shoot of the original image last weekend.

Unfortunately one car was unavailable but a substitute was found. The results can be seen in the attached images and the subsequent 23-years have proven that Rover’s “Iron Lady” has staying power.

Also attending were the Grandson (Kildare Clapham) and Great Granddaughter (Lucy Clapham) of Rover’s Chairman, Spencer Wilks who served the company from the early 1930’s to mid-1960’s. Under his stewardship, the Rover P5 was designed and produced.
