The Time Has Come !
Hi folks.
As per title, the time has finally come to sell off the much enjoyed Rover / Heinz 57. This car as many of you know had many transformations to bring it to my own preferred specifications. It took a number of years to achieve with help from many folks. All was done on a shoestring budget with relationships built up with local breakers yards and some really great local owners too. It has sold to a chap who benefited a number of journeys being taxied by a temporary custodian, both of whom were impressed by "Roger's" abilities and spirit. I named a rough price for it, and it was haggled by only a small figure to an agreed figure with no issues or regret. The test drive returned a general smile and decision to buy immediately. Perhaps the easiest car sale of my life with two happy chappies at the end. https://www.dropbox.com/s/hfq7cx6r2y...80715.jpg?dl=0 Owned since 2013 and had so much fun with the odd thing or two go wrong, but what a superb car to spend 7 years with, and meet up with some superb folks during this time. The new owner is an enthusiast with a number of special motors already progressing in their restoration, A Stag and Rover SD1. This hopefully will be another one keeping on the road for years to come ! |

Something’s clearly happening, we can’t lose you and Brian in the same week!
Hope you’ve got something nice to replace it, always looked lovely when I saw it. Last edited by bikerdude666; 23rd February 2020 at 22:01.. |

Well folks. Having spent years helping others by fixing all sorts, and starting a new job the Rover became reluctant in terms of reliability. Forced a day off in my 2nd week due to alternator failure then 2 blowouts and some other issues. So my hand was forced. I simply have so much going on with work shifts and rest days i simply got fed up. The car is getting on a bit and needs a bit more attenntion than i can give it.
The new car is a Focus CC3 2.0 diesel. A great car and looking forward to summer rest days out with the roof down ! So the Rover days are over for me mostly, Roger has been a true companion and star. He will continue to provide enjoyment for years to come im sure. I even have the Focus booked in for work as i just cant face working on cars 7 days a week, the thought turns my guts ! |

Always a shame to see someone leave - but remember those famous words - 'you'll be back'
I tried to leave a few times and always found something Rovery to fill the drive with. Whoops
