Thank you so much Lodein! Glad you liked the pictures as well.

You are welcome Lodein! A big life event happened! My wife gave birth to our baby boy Gijs on 8 march. Our little baby boy likes to cruise around with us in the Rovers. Such practical cars!.

During easter weekend there was a mostly US car meet. Other classics were welcome to join. I went with my 3500 Vanden Plas. It was special because it was the first event after the respray but most of all it was special because we were joined by a special guest. 8 march, my wife gave birth to our bab...

Thanks Lodein! This winter i took the chance to take on a big project. Respray/restore the Rover SD1 Vanden Plas! People who know my SD1 know that it was a pretty well sorted car. Fresh, good running and enjoyed! But it had 50 shades of red. Besides that, there was some rust spots here and there, so...

Indeed it does.

Ha yeah! That is the one. Ah oke, did not know that.

Thanks guys!! Haha luckily it is the right way up Dave.
It was a strange moment to drill holes indeed. But, then again, you can't really make a big mistake because the spoiler hides the holes.

Hey that is also a smart way to do it Dave!

Thanks again!

Thanks! Glad you like them.
Ah yeah, I know what you mean. It also looks like s little Ford Thunderbird I think.

We enjoy living in our new area very much. Driving around and attending meetings. I took the 3500 Vanden Plas to a little meeting in a town nearby: https://i.postimg.cc/7Yc4HFdv/IMG-20231001-151342-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/ZK0ZhbfF/IMG-20231001-151337-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/v80MjgvZ/IMG-202310...
