Returned last night from 10 days in France, stayed at my In laws house in Courlay, Poitou Charente .......... During my stay I spotted 2 75's (both French) a Rover 25 (also French) all three were on the move so no time for taking any picture's........then while out for a walk around Courlay I spotted this

Pictures of your own car don't count.

It's nice though. Speak to the owner? Leave a flyer?

Can't help wondering what's in those sheds behind the rather nice Tourer.

I'm hoping to hop over to the Vienne department in a few weeks for some Rover spotting of my own.
I've previously met the English owner of a 75 Connie Tourer in HFF paint identical to mine apart from the french plates and LHD.

Hope you had a good trip.

I used to go to Le Mans every year in my younger days and loved driving over there as the roads are so good. Make ours seem a load of old crape
