Just got back from there today - great show if you could ignore the rain but very few Rovers :sad (apart from me in the car park)

I was there too, my first ever visit, and disappointedly only came across one Rover 200 on display, an 'M' plate 214 SLi in Nightfire Red.

Yes, that was the one.

I was near the Dream Rides for Charity tent at 3:00 pm when they were offering rides at half price; went in this Carver One for the princely sum of £17.50:

By pure coincidence the route took me past where my 216 Cabriolet was parked in Knutsford so he dropped me off right at the car before he returned to Tatton Park; turned out to be the wildest taxi ride I've ever encountered and saved me a 1 hour walk back!! 😎

Your humour is lost on me! :rolleyes

If I'd paid the £9 to park (which I didn't) I would still have taken the Carver One ride (for the Charity's sake); I had a free ticket so didn't have to pay for entry and I also sold a spare ticket for £5, the recipient was happy and so was I.

The nett cost to me was £12.50!! 🤑
