Default Was it you....Paris?

So I've been working out here in Paris for the last two weeks and I've only just now spotted my first Rover 75 it looked in a sorry state too with a big crease to the drivers door but at least I've seen one out here now.



Not a member of the club by any chance was it?

I would have stopped them Paul and given the person a slap for letting it get into such a poor state

We had a holiday in Paris a while ago, I don't think I saw one car without a battle scar, mirrors held on with tape etc.
