Practically Classics Forum

Thanks for all of the positive comments. :) Paul, that sounds like a pity as regards that 2000. I must admit, I do drive it at normal speeds, keeping up with modern traffic, but it's not thrashed. :) Since my last update, the car has had four new tyres fitted, firestones, which offered a good qualit...

Basically, I decided I'd like a classic, because I've always been very interested in classic cars, and also because of other things such as relatively cheap insurance considering the type of car, tax exemption and so on.

A pair of ET headrests have been bought for the car for £20 and should arrive very soon.

I bought my Rover in August last year from Chelmsford in Essex. I had a thread about it on the previous practical forum, but I'll start a new one on here. To begin with, here's my most recent day out in it, followed by my current to do list. I'll post more about what's been done in the past soon. Si...
