Re: Lancaster Insurance NEC Classic Motorshow 2016

I'm sure someone mentioned something about pictures from this show? ...before it went off on a tangent anyway. Here's a couple I took of the stand. The Fastback is mine. I thought it was a really good show. The cars got a lot of interest, and I believe there were people who signed up to the Club ove...

Re: 1991 820i

Just a quick revisit to this thread...and I notice that a past tidy up of my Flickr account has decimated the photographs in this thread. Oh well! Over winter the fleet branched out to now include a caravan (not sure how I became one of those people at only 30? :shock: ) and the 820 was the only sui...

Re: Hello From Wigan

Hi Shane, welcome along! I think I've come across a picture of this Rover 800 collection when browsing flickr for pictures of vehicles to do with the sticker on the cab door of that Volvo! (another interest of mine) :oops:

Re: Show us your Mk1's MkII

The Mk1 in our fleet - oldest Fastback currently known. I can't take credit for these pictures; they were taken by Sam Skelton on 'Drive it Day' last weekend... https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8817/17138155718_19ce8f5d38_c.jpg 11149576_10205406574977448_365420379784224760_o by Austin-Rover , on Flick...

Re: Blue 827 Sterling saloon J14GWM

Nice to see that he's stitched up his own auction by waiting until the day after the MoT expires to list it on eBay, despite it having sat unused since August last year - thereby putting off 95% of interested parties because now they have to factor in recovery costs to get the car shifted.

Re: 1991 820i

What a weekend to cheer you up after endless winter weather. The sun is out, the bulbs are flowering, the temperature is up...time to give the 820 a full hit with the polishes, lotions and potions. :D All those milky dull patches from years of car washes have gone to be replaced with a shine so deep...

Re: midnite's 800 collection

Not heard of "short bumpers" before Dave, short in relation to what? Also this 827 SLi fastback has/had the same style bumpers and it was also on an "H" plate (H833 UNP from memory) - i can get the VIN at some point if it helps? Look at pictures of Mk1 cars. Earlier examples slope off quite quickly...

Re: midnite's 800 collection

Is it a late registered car with the short bumpers and blocky boot lid badging?
