What a great day. Really enjoyed it and my little boy Alfie who is just 21 months seemed to be happy and enjoy himself, we were there for the whole day and it fantastic to see so many beautiful 75's a bonus for me was getting my cars drivers manual signed by the whole Rover team. Thank you everyone for the great day you put on and what a brilliant venue the British motor museum is.

What a fantastic day! Thank you for organising it, thank you to the rover team guests and of course everyone for their superb cars!

Really good day. Thank you for organising it, and the extra-special opportunity to hear the fantasic insights from the expert panel

A good turnout today, enjoyed catching up with folk again, on the drive back another milestone achieved.

I doubt we will ever see Mike Nocs mileage though!!

Want to say a big thanks to Terry Shaw for the ABS modulator, cheers bud, I'll be fitting it at the weekend 👍

We had a throughly pleasant day and met some really nice people. Listening to the "Rover Royalty's" stories was a particular highlight. Thank you to the organisers and the speakers!

We also went to the Longships and Octagons event at The Great British Car Journey the day before. Not quite the size of PoL, but still a great turnout with a nice variety of MGs and Rovers.

We also managed to park up next to the club's car at the hotel the night before.

Over the weekend we covered 404 miles and supposedly averaged a shade over 40mpg, although I think that might be a tad optimistic. Still, not bad for a 2.5 auto!

Wow, what a great day at Gaydon. It was the first club meeting i've attended for several years, (apart from the Classic Car show last November) and it was

to catch up with many old friends. Sadly a few are no longer with us, but I’m sure they were there in spirit. Thanks to Paul et-al for organising such a great event, and thank you everyone who chose my car to be the winner of the Gryphon award. I really can’t tell you how proud it made me feel, and being presented by Peter Morgan was an added bonus. It was a great day, so thank you everyone.

I wondered who had the immaculate green one in the hotel car park I was in the scruffy gold one 😆 🤣
