stanski Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Could'nt resist a picture! Best thing it had etched Reg plate in the windows in case anybody thought about stealing it ! The National Trust Sticker in the back would be enough to scare people off!! Rover at its best eh? (Although the 3.5 Ltr engine is a good one ) Quote

SunsetZed Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 I quite like those, I think it's the sheer size of them, I just about remember them being in the touring cars!!! Quote
sparky370z Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 it was a lovely car when i was running, but no one could tune the thing. she had it serviced on the dot and it was well looked after, but she took it to a new mechanic (because he promised her he could tuning it properly) and he buggered it up and it never ran proper after that. but she has come into some money now and it will (hopefully) be restored to its former glory.
