Back on the road...
 

after seven long years. I picked it back up from my friend last week and it runs quite nicely. Far from perfect but fully functional and time to enjoy it again even in winter!
I’ll be getting the primer painted soon to get it through winter and then a proper restoration will commence from next summer. It does feel so good to be driving it again. It feels and smells exactly how I last remember it! My baby.

One simply cannot beat a nice XW, Rover made really nice cars when tied up with Honda :xmas-smiley-008:

Nice one Rav, and thanks for sharing :smiley:

Brian :D

In your dreams.

Cheers, Brian.

Glad to hear you have it back Rav.I believe we are down to around 400 on the road currently with a similar number sorned.Good luck with the restoration :cool:

I failed to buy a lovely, and very original BRG T top a few years back. I called to say I was coming to see it on a frosty November evening, and they had warmed it up for me as I drove there, putting the front windscreen demister/ heater on full blast. This had split the windscreen horizontally near the bottom. They wouldn't drop the price from the £695 asking price and I walked away, on principle. Silly me! Nice to see there are still so many around, although a rare sight except at events.

Cheers, Mick.

That sounds cheap as it is!

Good to see it back on the road, love the Addendums

This would have been around 2008 or -9. Nobody wanted a used, non-classic Rover then. I've always been a sucker for unusual, inexpensive cars that no one else wants.
