Hi all my first experience was well im told i was driven home in my dads 1968 series 1 rover as a new born baby in aug 1968, we owned the car until 1974 when the rover series 2 was purchased, so at the age of six and with all my brothers and sisters would have great days out in the rover summer fun, the 1968 series one was kept as a just in case car , then in 1977 my dad got a new rover series 2 a 2.2 tc i remember and i would wash this car every saturday for pocket money , we still had the 1968 rover for just in case then at the age of 14 my dad change his car to a volvo 240 but we still had the series 1 , and i started to learn to drive in the series one at the age of 16 , after lots of lessons and 4 instructors i passed , and i was going to have the rover series 1 as my first car , which lived at my grans , we went to pick it up one day saturday i think and as we drove round the corner a fire engine came passed , wonder were thats going Yes it was a car fire the rover was in flames , no not electrical some kids were bored, so that was that, i had loads of cars after that then one day i was wanting a rover as i have fond memories of them , my late brother and i would sit for hours in the rover talking about when we were men how we would own these big cars , will i made it to manhood so i own my rosie for us both, so last year on my 40th year i purchased rover a 1971 series 2 2000 sc and i love here for lots of reasons , but im busy welding her up , my plan is to own her till i meet my end and see my brother again, i will have lots to tell him,
anyway i just love the smells and the looks of her , and well my dad has got a 42000 miler unwelded series 2 so he can relive those big boss days again and he wants the rover to be the last car he drives into old age , so thats a nice way to end your driving life i think. and what a sight when you go into the garage , wonderful
kind regards
