Hi All,
After 17 years (apart from a gap of 6 months ) I No longer own either a 75 or MG, feels strange.
I have binned most of my bulky spares ( drive shafts, sub frame,undertrays etc) but have a small amount of useful parts that will be put on sale over the weekend.
These include rover 75 rubber mats, modified egr, new rear shocks and a nextbase dash cam, amongst other bits yet to be found.
Good luck all, and I hope the ULEZ doesn't come you way soon!

Sorry to hear that, we're meant to be getting ULEZ up here in Edinburgh soon, which will affect me in a couple of ways with my 75.

Pm'd you about your Rubber Mats.

Never take car into Edinburgh anyway, haven't for a long time. Place is not car friendly to put it mildly. Free rail travel and an old fogies bus pass as well.

Thanks ,
I will keep checking in.
I still have the Mazda CX7 for now, but it's not ULEZ compliant , so will have to go as well.
Still got the Bonneville to tinker with, so that can be my hobby for now.
I am on the look out for a replacement car to replace the ZT and CX7.
Not sure what to get next.. the cars I can afford I don't Like, the cars I like , I can't afford..!!

That's a shame Paul. Another member is looking for one of those at the moment.

Yes a real shame, has the bin been emptied yet? i.e. can they be retrieved?

I'm about 30 mins. away, and may well be able to give them space.

Regards

HI Mike,
I am really sorry, I had a half empty 6 yrd skip that was used for most of the large parts.
I didn't think, because of the logistics , that any one would have been interested in them.
The Skip went yesterday ,as booked in earlier this week.
Most of the metal parts went overnight from the Skip though!

ULEZ will do for mine at some point but presently she's exempt.
