800 20th Anniversay show?

Post by Punx0r »

I've been told there is a show somewhere around Warwickshire next weekend for the 20th anniversay of the rover 800. Can't find any info about any kind of show anywhere? :?

Anyone know anything? I want to go :D

That sounds like the one, thanks :)

Sounds like there's about 3 cars going though? I read you have to pay to get in, but into what? Something about a food show?!

First time I'll miss this one also. 800's gather in Gaydon each year, but I just had my Cornwall trip and together with the VitSport wheels.....I'm skinned. :(

Just collected the wheels from the powdercoater yesterday and they are as new. Now the search for some decent tyres can start.
Job.
