The last fleet admiral
Hello pals!

Very soon (D-5) I'll be delighted to present you my last purchase.
As a Rover addict, it couldn't be another car but a Rover.
Not even a Jag, and I love Jags nevertheless. But the Jags are no longer the Jags.
It will be the fourth Rover in the family since 1990.

I had chased her very long since but I knew what I wanted:
Actual burr walnut, leather, two-coloured wheel, hi standard stereo, automatic clim, highc spec interior, good powerful & reliable engine, petrol and no diesel, nice looking body colour, good condition, not too many miles and so and so.
And - don't forget - reasonably priced (in France of course. In the UK it's cheaper).
To make it short outside the UK as rare as hen teeth!

I bet you've already guessed what...

But found her 250ml far from home. A brave journey by coach.
I'll go next Thursday to pick off my second ladylove...

So I wish to be able here to write a little chronicle with pics to show the mistress and eventually to inform day by day about my fortunes and good surprises (I've never driven with an automatic gearbox...) and - hope not - disappointments or misfortunes.

But I do keep my bonnie lovely 25, now on my wife's car, and I've sold yesterday the Italian convertible (Fiat Punto 1.6 90bhp ELX Bertone 1995).

Two Rovers in my garages: what a joy! [IMG]file:///home/aurejac/TEMPOR2/forums.mg-rover.org/images/smilies/biggrinbounce.gif[/IMG]

Coming back soon...
