Back in the day I bought a Vitesse with a rusted out rear outrigger. Every time I accelerated it pulled to the left and when I braked it pulled to the right.
It was only £50 quid and a new outrigger was less than a fiver, so a quick trip to my uncle's lorry workshop to borrow the welder and all was well. Hope things work out Rav. Plenty of good advice on here - I've got too many cars as well so any advice from me wouldn't be worth listening to. . Last edited by Mike Noc; 22nd March 2019 at 22:18.. |

I notice you don't post links to nice rovers for sale anymore, you used to find some crackers!
You've had some good advice on here, start with selling one. Don't look at any others until you are in a better position and frame of mind. They are lovely cars, except the worries of life sometimes take away the joy of owning them. Time for a holiday I think somewhere warm! Blessings mate.

Ravinder, from my point of view you need a break.
If you could drive all your cars to me, I would offer you storage in this dry weather here for a small fraction of what are you paying now. However, I think you need to sit and decide what to do next. Most probably you will need to define priorities in your life. For me it would be getting your place for your own and follow your heart for your work. Everything else which represents ballast will need to go. Hard decision but the only correct on in my book. |

If you cut down to one car think of how much you would save a month of the £200 insurance...£45 storage and the vehicle tax plus other sundries that you could spend on yourself after working so hard each month.
You could see some tangible immediate spending benefits on other living items plus be able to put some by if it suits. I only have one 75 and it is my daily drive I couldn't afford to have more than one car. I spend money on my car just like anyone else to keep it on the road but it has to be a reliable runner otherwise I'd go bust. My last 75 was my only car and daily runner it was reliable on a daily basis, I had to spend money on occasional repairs like an alternator and a clutch but I've had to do that with other cars also. Its of course up to you but I'd suggest like others concentrate one car, perhaps the most practical runner prospect, enjoy spending any saved money on yourself and you'd also have more to spend on the upkeep of your one car if when and as required. Best of luck anyway whatever you decide. Don't bottle anything up you already know that most people including those on this forum are only to willing to help others having a hard time if they are able to, its in the human nature of most people. and thankfully always will be Last edited by bendrick; 9th February 2019 at 08:26.. |

Rav if you sold them all bar the coupe and ploughed some money from them into that to get it in top condition would it make you happy ?

Rav - I say sell all but one of your cars. Keep the one that you like and is a reliable daily.
Then focus your energy on the photography and finding that tall, young, beautiful maiden......... |

Thanks for all the advise.
The reason I don’t post other cars for sale that I come across is that I just can’t be bothered anymore and I don’t like looking for 75s and MGs now. Makes me a bit sick. That’s just the way I feel.... My head is saying let the 600 and the coupe go...if I had my own space and a big driveway, I probably would want to keep them. The problem that I have is I’m not allowed to store cars st home apart from one. So, the others are in lockups. I was working this out last night...my 5 cars with insurance, tax and lockup costs is costing me £388 per month..... I could cry. This is a bit of an eye opener and something needs to change.
