Think that'll be my "winter project" Gaz, too many other things to get on with at the moment including getting the coupe sorted for MoT and other things.
Cheers,
Dave

Well a busy day with the Si.

With blue skies overhead I went for a very pleasant drive in the morning, then it was off for 4 new tyres at my friendly ATS tyre centre.

Some underside shots. You can see the remains of the original Rover underseal

Image

Are these original Rover mud flaps? They don't seem to fit properly (so they could be :lol: :lol: )

Image

After the tyres were fitted it was in for an MOT and .......

A PASS!! Huzzah! no advisories.

Off into town to have my hair done and get some shopping. I was a bit nervous leaving it in the multistory though it did look fab. Look how small it looks next to the Nissan thingy :shock:

There is a real Autumnal feel tothe air so I think its time to tuck him in for his winter hibernation. aaaarh.

Small? Nah! Longer, sleeker, roomier, less oppressive (thanks to a big glass area) and in better condition than the Renault/Nissan/Vauxhall 4x4 "wannabe"!

It doesn't look small ;)

Those modern small SUV's look like pumped up hemorrhoids and the Rover looks like a sleek speed saloon. They look different is the word i think you are looking fore ;).
A lot of people say the 800 looks big but proportioned, from some angles huge and from other less big :P

By the way your car loos so good!! :D

Re: - The mud flaps were a dealer option if I'm not mistaken. They might have a part number possibly beginning with 'D' in which case they were fitted from new.

Great job Kate. It is so pleasing to open a car door and see paint not crud.

This is getting close to being the best mk 1 out there if not already.
