Beaker · Post by **Beaker** » Thu Feb 02, 2006 1:27 pm

Yup,

The paintwork isn't our doing, it came like that when purchased. It has been converted from Perkins NASP to Perkins TD which has been tuned slightly, hopefully going to be intercooled soon as well and maybe in the near future an L series conversion. Will be sporting Rover 600 Alloys soon as well.

9 Rover 800's - Incredible! How came Rover collapsed with loyaly like that!
As a former employee, thanks to you all.
After the company left me (I was there for 30 years) I dug out some old paperwork and this is how many I've owned over the years.
1 x Ital
2 x Princess
1 x Allegro (oh dear)
1 x Maestro
3 x Montego's
1 x Triumph Acclaim (still running)
2 x Rover 200 (Ballade)
1 x Rover 800 (splashed out pre kids)
5 x Rover 200 (R8)
3 x Rover 600
5 x Rover 200/Rover 25 (R3)
6 x Rover 400
2 x MG ZS
1 x MG ZR
1 x Streetwise
2 x Rover 75 (both a dream and sadly missed)

That's 36 BL/MG-Rover's in 30 years.
Now I own 1 x Rover 600 & 1 x Rover 200. Making it 38. My next cars going to be a Rover 75. I'm going for 50.

Never had a single problem with any one of them except I hated the Allegro. Most I loved esp the 75's. Second favourite oddly was the Montego's - Estates and so practical and vast inside. Wouldn't mind another. However the head gasket went on my latest Rover 200. Hence its being replaced with a Honda Jazz (sorry) at the wifes request and only because I have a certain affinity with Honda having worked closely with them for 8 years.

s0ck · Post by **s0ck** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 12:40 am

I've got one and the old man has about four. Keep telling him to sell em all and get a nice Vitesse sport but never mind.
