In the skip
Went for a MOT at Clemo motors Cleckheaton last Thursday. Found that they had been taken over by Stoneacre.
After the MOT I was asking the guy on reception if the new owners were getting rid of the MG Rover signs, "not yet but some bits and pieces from the stores are already in the skip, I'll take you to have a look , it's been collected this afternoon" Skip full of non Rover junk [most of the Rover stuff at the bottom of the skip, underwater], anyway, managed to pull out this sign, I think it was used to be fitted on top of second hand Rovers for sale. Such a pity, I am sure there was lots of Rover treasure at the bottom of that skip, but I wasn't dessed for skip hunting. I have my name down for the very large ROVER and MG signs. Dave T |
