S525 ovp
 

What happened with this Project ? i see its taxed and mot'd so it must have been finished I just wondered why i can't see anything on here about it

As a project I guess it stalled like most projects

The car is MOT'd and taxed, and has been mechanically serviced. It needs significant bodywork refurbishment as all panels have lacquer peel, rust or paint scratches.

It is in the hands of Christopher as to how what and when said cosmetic work gets done.

Cheers, i just remembered it on here and was looking for it found it quite interesting

Yep too true...mine is no longer a project and all of my plans and dreams for how it was supposed to be have well and truly stalled with some ideas (such as a roof conversion to add a sunroof and full interior change) have been totally removed from the list.

I'm just happy that it runs fine these days and will plod on fixing it up in no particular hurry. I have spent far too much time fiddling with it and now just want to enjoy driving it lol.

Still very much around - I saw it only a few weeks ago safely under the care of, and under the roof of, a specialist Rover garage where I'd taken my car in for some work.

Just looking through you tube and was watching "rover 75 electrical systems-multiplexing (1999)" (as you do) and lo and behold what car is hooked up to a T-4, yes S525 OVP. Must get back to it the narrators voice is sending me to sleep.

So I decided to walk back from the shop a different way today and there was S525 OVP parked up not five minutes from my house! It looks a state. Fair enough keep the dents and scratches it gathered from its Rover days but at least wash the poor thing. It's turning green.

But at least it's still around I suppose. Any idea who's looking after it now? It was parked with another 75 in dark red with a BX51 reg, possibly suggesting it was registered straight from the factory too. It looked equally unloved, rather dirty with a space saver on the front.

I'm wondering if it now lives five minutes from me or if it was just visiting. I shall have to that way more often.

I'd add pictures but I'm not sure how to, there seem to no obvious links.

Thank you for your observations :)

Both cars are owned by Christopher who is a club director. BX51 in Copperleaf Red, he brought back from Malta. He did a big write up on that trip which you contributed to.

I don't know who is looking after them, if I may suggest, you pm Christopher if he is happy for you to post up photos of his 75's. You could be lucky in arranging a meet with the keeper for a guided tour with tea and biscuits. Have fun :)

Ahhh, thanks. I may have done, that was a while ago! Nice to see its still in the right hands. I was just a little surprised to see it so close to home, I'll have to go round that way more often. It could still do with a wash though.
