I am in no hurry to sell...I still love the car...its just...well...I fancy a change nothing more. I normally get bored with cars very quickly, and apart from the restored cars I have worked on this is the only car I have ever owned for more than a two years....thats some accolade for me.

Anyways...its still available if someone is feeling flush...if not then it looks like another year of ownership is on the cards!

I'm still working on a "case for the defense" for the wife......

Hey fancy a swap for a Rover SD1 vitesse? Now that would be a challenge, I know it's mine

Just wondered, what happened to the bike and the suite?

It used to be Biker in a suite or am I being mistaken?

he probably had difficulty squeezing between cars carrying a three piece suite?

(I think he meant "suit"....)

Yes I have gone keyboard crazy. An occupational hazzard.

the following may help you Jamie - I've just had a search back on your old posts as I'm sure you put a clutch plate in this ages ago - and sure enough you did in early 2008 and bled the system. and a new alternator too.
So those are biggie positives for any future buyer.

Seems almost tempting.

Yes I forgot to mention those....there was nothing wrong with the clutch at all, my OCD just got the better of me!! and besides I wanted to prove that it wasnt such a big job for someone to tackle at home. it was a complete new clutch assembly including a new genuine MGR slave cylinder but as I said...they were working fine before changed them.

The alternator was a brand new Valeo unit (not recon) and it has given me no bother at all.

Just out of interest..I now know that Valeo have restocked with brand new units after giving them a 'little phone call'
They ran out of new units last year and they werent planning on getting any more...just shows what a little lobbying can do.
