Hello -dont know the car - but the classic rust area on our cars are the rear sills around the jacking pads - if it is this area - you can get these for the repair
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-Of-R...sAAOSw6qhesxET They are made by a gent well thought of on the site called Tom Hobbs

thanks for your reply that's exactly where the rust is and a little surface rust at the bottom of the rear number plate i've no doubt i'll find some more i haven't had it on a ramp yet Garry in Aberdeenshire said he would remap it for me as it's only 114bhp plus he would give it a health check and put it on the ramp to check underneath marinabrian also offered the same service once again thank you

Nice looking motor I remember seeing it for sale. Deep sea green interior, lovely. I have a CDT salon with a similar number, BL02 WPP. This was a press car as the service history is stamped MG Rover Press Garage, so being of a similar series yours might be as well? That one has always seemed particularly well screwed together.
Good luck with your new motor! |

thank you for your reply yes it's British racing green with deep sea green interior it has a factory fitted dvd player on the roof it is a stunning looking car hopefully any rust i come across will be minimal i have ordered a front grill for it as the existing one has plastic slats and the badge is set into a plastic centre piece i got an all chromed one from a breakers yard just waiting on delivery and looks like even i could fit it thanks again for your reply
