POL 2017 - Photo Thread

Post by Alucard7002 » Wed Apr 19, 2017 7:47 pm

Hi all,

Was a great time this year round at POL.

Got to put a fair few more faces to names - well met, all of you. Also great to see some familiar faces too. A fair few new faces also, fingers crossed they can join the forum :lol:

I think the highest count of the day was 24 800s.

Not a bad show for an impromptu "Lets find an empty space and claim it as our stand!"

Anyhow, some photos for you to enjoy - apologies if I missed your car, lots of people on feet with baby wagons this year and getting photos without them was hard!

Was great to catch up with a few people on the stand. I don't think that I've ever seen so many 800s on the stand! Sadly I couldn't be there with my car (L843 TJK - 820 Vitesse Fastback, Nightfire) - see the thread in the gearbox section. It will be there next year and hopefully some other shows in the interim.

What a fantastic show PoL is! Have taken 300 odd photos - they'll be on Facebook, but I'll stick a few on here as well.

Great photos Dusan, and yes your right a good number of cars for this annual event. I do think it needs a freshen up by the organisers, but always good to get the car out and meet new people. Thanks for taking the photos and sharing them on here for all to see.

A little something to add to Dusan's excellent photo's and show what you others missed out on. Get your cars ready and out for Gaydon and make the 800 the car to be seen in.

Lovely video. Never been so good to get a sense of the overall scale of it.

Silly question but that's the actual Rover factory in the background is it? I lose trck of what was made where - R800's were Cowley weren't they? What models were made at Longbridge?

Yes mark it is Longbridge factory or what is left of it now in the Background, and yes right again on 800's being made at Cowley along with 600 and 75, Montego and Maestro and if we can mention SD1 on here that one as well

I like to think that Gentlemen's cars were made at Cowley and the Ladies at Longbridge as they did the mini, MGF, Metro, Rover 200/25, Etc if you get my drift :twisted: :lol:

I'm the one who did that video. Sorry I forgot to share it with you guys initially...
I was not there with my 827 Coupe at PoL, came with the ZT-T 260. But will bring the coupe to Roverfest in August...
There was a french 827 coupe there though with the other 800s, belongs to a friend of mine who came along.
