[Rovernet] '75 Rover TC 2000 (exported to Italy) Relay Question/Oil Light Question

[Tom Rymes]

I can’t really help here, other than to say that my Italian market Dolomite Sprint had a number of changes from home market cars, including dual-circuit brakes and the attendant warning lamp. The wiring for that had also been mucked with a bit, but you really ought to be able to find a proper wiring diagram somewhere. 

As for the “oddity” of a ‘75 with a factory-fitted 2L engine, Italy was well-known for random 2L versions of all sorts of cars due to a tax provision. See also: Dino 208GT4 and BMW E30 320iS, among others.
