Sold up
 

My 75 has been sold today, it is being collected by a transport company on Tuesday and I believe ( never say never ) this is the end of my time owning one of these wonderful cars.
I have a long history with 75's as I was lucky enough to work in the sales department of a Rover dealership when they were launched, i did all the pre launch sales training and got to drive them prior to going on sale to the public.
I have owned many specs 2.0 V6 manual, two diesel autos, a beautiful wedgwood launch car, for a very short time a 1.8 Atlantic blue launch car, two Zt 190's, a Zt260 as well as 400's, 45's, 25's and a 600.
Over the years I have made so many wonderful friends through this club, many will be lifelong, many (sadly) are no longer with us but they will never be forgotten.
I have been given a wealth of assistance and knowledge through some particularly outstanding members of this club and hope that i have managed to pass some of this onto other people but i would like to thank all those that have helped me.
It sounds like I'm going to disappear completely but I don't fully intend to do so as i still have my Tf so I'll still turn up at the occasional meeting.
It's going to be strange not owning a Rover but I feel the time has now come.

Hopefully I'll get to see some of my friends in the near future at a meet.
Take care everyone.

Steve.

Ah shame Steve always good to chat when we met up at meets.

All the best

sad day Steve. Hope to see you at the local meets and shows. Btw I've fixed my door card and window regulator bought some different clips and they worked a treat!

In the words of the song "You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em".

I had to think long and hard about selling my Rover 825 but I knew it was the time. My heart still regrets it but my head knows it was the right choice. Sometimes the stars align and it's time to go in a different direction.

Good luck.

Sad post to read Steve, Ross, yourself and I probably had the best evening ever at a meet in Doncaster, something that will be in my memories for ever. Don't be a stranger :)

Unless you were there people just won't understand how much those very special events and the people there mean to us. Some of the most wonderful memories are from those evenings, just so glad we have the memories. Like I said, lifetime friends.

Steve.

Sad to see you have now sold your last Rover hope we will see you soon at a meet

Shame that mate, sad to hear, but I think there's going to be more posts like yours over the next few years:shrug: Been a pleasure to know you, who am I going to take the rise out of now?:D Good luck mate, don't be a stranger and I'll probably see you somewhere:bowdown::D

Don't be a stranger , our cars are not the be all and end all of this club !

We can only echo all the above comments good luck to yourself and Ross
