Absolutely! It's epic. I really wanted to meet him with the car and was not disappointed, quite the opposite. He's a legend. He was having some minor issues with the hood and when he got it shut, there was a spontaneous burst of applause all round. I so wish Rover had developed & produced that car.

Dougie.

He truly is one of a kind, I always enjoy talking to him about his creations.

The adapted Mercedes door panels are an amazing piece of work.

It was a great day, but traffic getting on the M1 for the way back was a bit of a 'mare

Wasn't too bad going north though I did go across country and picked it up at junction 15.

Then delayed due to rubber-neckers of a three car accident southbound, the normal 60 mph air quality speed limit around Birmingham and a new one on me a 60 mph speed limit for several miles to test the system!

No matter home in just over 3 hours including one comfort break, didn't think that was too bad considering.

Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed the day and the great location. Also took the back roads home, leading to a pint on the way back 🍺
Will definitely do 2024 if possible. Good to see so many nice cars. Thinking more of older Rovers mainly, but 10 years ago there were a lot of tired ones, now they are the exception rather than the rule. And I would say that there are probably more on the road now too than when I last had an SD1 10 years or so ago.

Continuing to edit video and found these lovely smiles I didn't notice on the day



also came across a picture on my phone that I'd taken just as I opened the curtains on Sunday morning



it's not often you see a Streetwise, a Rover P4, a Belgium registered Rover 75 and a Rover P5B Coupe in the same car park, mind you there were many more Rovers out of sight of my window.
