The next stage after we have now secured the oldest rover 75 is the low loader to come into Longbridge and get the car out, once done a engineers report and then the commencement of the project.

The aim is to have the vehicle back to the same specification and condition when first built. This in itself is a bit of a challenge due to some of the difference between certain components. For example, some of the bodywork we can't simply replace as there appear to be some minor differences, so we will have to get our thinking caps on. There's also the need to balance getting it factory fresh and preserving the orginality of the model.
