The organisers are looking for a late, 'mark 2' Rover 45 for the photoshoot, so if you have one and can make it to the event, please drop a note, and preferably a photo below.

This is for the 'Timeline' photo of all Rover and MG models.
I like Twin Cams.... and Single Cams...and now Turbos

Thanks for reminding me to book, especially as I only live about 10 miles away. I will hopefully be in the 200iS, assuming that it comes back from the Bodyshop in time for me to put it back together!!

No hope of that I’m afraid. I was going to prepare it for selling this year, but that is on hold for the foreseeable future. Family health issues unfortunately. Best laid plans and all that!
