The Rovers return... Last time i drove it was to a British Car Show, then to a spot not far from here so i could sort out the parking brake stickoing (I never did..) Since then, apart from sitting in storage, it's had a new electronic ignition and new fuel lines.

The Rovers Return A couple pics of my old Rover as it sits. The tin worm has been busy, but I have a panel or two I can replace the crusty ones with. I suspect (as wen i initially purchased it, a vigorous scrubbing to dispose of the grime and algae, things will be a lot brighter. If nothing...

So... Hi again! Bill here from Vancouver island. I popped in with a lovely but rusty 1968 2000 TC a while back. well... life happens. I drove the car for a year or so, then finally had to sell it as my collection of "other cars" and a lack of space got in my way. Well.. i just bought it back...

Sorry... phone pics.. I hope for better ones soon. I posted before, but it dissapeared. i think it's a conspiracy.. The car is running great, I'm using it as a daily driver. Most everything works. It needs less hideous rear view3 mirros (hope to resolve this week) The seats are worn out, but...
