So the final piece of the puzzle was to 'bling' the car up again with all its bright work.
Had to acquire that missing little bit of trim from forum trader Mickyboy, as well as a couple of other bits from
member KeithA
Managed to find a brand new never used boot lid badge on ebay
Nice couple of numbers too, I drew a stencil from my own car for reference of where to place them on OVP
Teflon came over once again to refresh the engine bay as it had become rather dusty after the paint shop work, and he even got his polisher out to do the headlamps
Then a quick trip to the forecourt to fill her up for the journey to a rather special show in Birmingham
Notice the correct bullet type door mirrors with Arran White covers now on the car too
And show day arrives, Hall 4 of the NEC for the Classic Motor Show 2018
Notice on the video screen behind, footage of OVP as a police car in 'New Tricks' a BBC1 drama
Finally, the crowning glory and the end of her epic journey, reunited with her creator Mr Richard Woolley no less
Long live OVP The Rover 75 & MG ZT Owners Club Car, born 25th November 1998
