A local dealer is bringing an MG6 down to the meet. I'm sure he'll let people test drive in the local area if you ask nicely...

Will the cop car be one of them?

[TDHFastback]

I hope so Simon

Kate

[Roverguest]

Wow, the Police car would be epic, if you could Kate get maybe any other Rover heritage Police car [SD1 The Liver Run?!] that would be great.

We are expecting about 30 cars so this should be epic!

[simon]

Any one still going?

[TDHFastback]

Hoping to be there Simon.

Kate

[simon]

Hopefully see you there

Well another wet car show. It always seems to rain whenever I've been to show this year (is that the norm or is it just me.)
Still there was a good turn out despite the downpour.









The local MG dealer brought this along for people to have a look at. He said they are not selling that well with only 7 sold in the last 18 months though they are expecting great things from the new diesel coming out next year.



Always liked the wedgewood blue on the 75



This lovely little MGF only cost the owner £600 then a further £800 when the headgasket went. Not just 800s then.



Roverguests metro (sorry I didn't say hello but wasn't sure what you looked like)






An odd colour scheme for a 75



Saw Ricky there with his Sterling.



Not sure where you went, when I went for something to eat,so didn't get a chance to say goodbye. Nice to see you again Ricky

This nice Coupe turned up. Apparently the owner is an occasional visitor to the forum.





Got speaking to Alan the organiser who was there with his BRM. He told me a little bit about the history behind them. Apparently they were £18000 when new
with only 797 made.When they didn't sell that well they were reduced to £14000 and some people got them for as little as £12000. Dealers were even painting the orange intake at the front silver as they thought that is why they weren't selling. They have manage to track down and buy no1 and are going to restore it. It was being used as a shopping car in Bristol. Check out that interior





But for me the star oof the show had to be this











The young chap called Dan bought it from the estate of the original owner who had sadly passed away. It was lovely and original with BL anti key scratch pads round the locks and the original mudflaps. The first owner had fitted a sunroof and a little electric motor so the arial went up when the ignition was switched on. There was no rust anywhere and the interior was immaculate. A real time warp car.

A wet day with some nice cars.

Was a wet day but a very good turnout considering the weather, Kate was nice to meet you

[Roverguest]

Thanks to all the people that turned up even in the rain! Was a good meet! Hope you all will come back and spread the word about us!

BTW, the green metro belongs to my mate, the silver one is mine.
