I have asked if pictures can be taken, but at the moment he's on his own dealing with it all.

I will be up there either on monday or shortly after.

I will take pics of all that is for sale when there.

Got excited when I saw the Vitesse. In the cold light of day, it's not for me though.

In addition there are currently the following cars available, but subject to change as time passes.

1.6 Montego saloon, with low miles £500
Rover 75 V8 (yes one of those) Circa £7k
220 Turbo Coupe £700
Marina LE £300 (needs work, but possibly parts to complete with it)
Marina GT £950
Pair of TR7's, (currently in negotiations, but will advise if still available.

Honda TN7 Pick Up.£700
Damage repaired MGF (no details as yet)
is the 75 an estate or saloon?
what colour is the 220? I had one in midnight blue which always had people commenting.....
possibly interested in either if the right boxes can be ticked :)
Rock On!

Just a quick one.

The 75 V8 is a saloon in dark blue.

the 220 is turquoise (polonesian blue?)

The two TR7's are ones built at "Speke" before production was moved???

I should be posting pictures later tonight.(awaiting email.)

There is also a brg 216 Vitesse too!

Ok, so far I have fresh pictures of the Marina GT, the 75 V8, the 220 Coupe' and the TN7 Honda Pick-up.

Message received with the pics was that the outdoor shots of the 800's did not come out well, and new ones will be taken over the weekend.

But, if you zoom in on the back ground of the 75 V8's pics, there is a half decent side shot of the 827.

Think I'll buy the Marina and rent out the space under the bonnet and still have room to work on the engine! If I had the room that car would be mine, simplicity gets more appealing the older I get.
Mal I hope these cars find the owners they deserve, especially given the sad circumstance. That Tomcat Turbo is a rare unmolested example with rare aircon too
Alex I think the multiple forklifts probably give a clue as to how the the TN ascended that container.

I am really tempted by one of the Marinas.............I guess I'm just getting more weird as the years go by.

Hats off to the old fella, he knew what he liked. Those cars are just jaw droppingly awesome. I've never really cared for Marinas but those ones are just fab especially the second one with the equipe trim. If it is actually badged equipe I doubt that there will be many others left. That 216 would be on my wishlist and the biggest WANT is that Tomcat. Looking at that collection, how EVER did Rover go under?? :cry:
