Hi Guys,

Nigel has just sent me some new photos in an email:

Nigel says:

"I have done a little work on the rear armrest and front seat backs and was hoping you could add these photo's to Avon in the gallery please. Walnut available from Simon in Bulgaria if any member interested.

I was in the process of reconditioning a pair of walnut rear seat picnic tables, the same type as fitted to the Spanish members car reviewed last year, which I thought was a very nice job. But I decided not to proceed to fit as I was a little worried about reducing the rear leg / knee room. So I worked up a little walnut mod with Simons help."

As we are now used to with Nigel's car the result is beautiful, I'm sure you will agree:

The car has some great modifications with these walnut panels,wonder where he gets his ideas from?

The chrome coasters in the rear arm rest are a very nice touch..

Stunning ,absolutely stunning, love the walnut.

That says it all

The seat-backs don't do it for me, but I really like the arm rest binnacle!

I'm going to go through this thread again and make a list of things I'd quite like in my own Royal Blue Connoisseur SE...

It's a mini Rolls Royce and I must be getting old because it's totally 110% to my taste.

Yes I am.
I’m embarrassed to say. I do get a lot satisfaction working a small mod or two and reading what other club members in the club do to their MG / Rovers. I will at some point get her on the road at the end of the day it needs to used. I do carry out systems checks for proper operation. That said I feel much more at ease parking my 18 old Isuzu trooper in Asda. There’s always lots of space left around it when parked up. When I do put the Rover back on the road no leaves will enter the plenum as It’s fitted with your plenum filter.

Thanks for your comments Nigel
And first refusal noted.
