Default Rover 75 Project Drive

did the Tourer come in project drive form as I'm selling my Classic Mini to get another 75 either a ZT or a early 75 that needs a bit of work as I am keeping The Wedge and want a earlier 75

Restoring anything costs far far more then just buying a really good one.

I know from my biking restorations.

Buy the best you can find.

I haven't seen a restored car of yours as yet.

Projects yes, but nothing finished. Have you got any pics of a finished restoration?
