Default Amazing what happens in a week - New project

No point keeping it secret now as half of Northern Ireland's Rover community saw me on route to the mot centre today to get my fail sheet.

Never mind everyone who drives past my house saw it today! Never had as many phone calls, texts or knocks on the door for a Sunday.



Yes, it's a 6 door Rover 75.

Yes, it's 1 of 13.

Yes, it's the former Mayor of Exeter's car.

Yes, it had disappeared for a long time ago.

Yes I found it.

Yes, I sold 4 cars this week, thank god.

Yes, this was not planned.

Yes, I took it to mot not knowing what it needed just to get a list.

And finally, yes, it needs a ton of work for the retest.

Also, no, you can't see the fail sheet on a Northern Ireland mot online before anyone asks or tries to search.

I will get more photos when I do the video as I be documenting the restoration of it on my youtube channel going forward, so subscribe now and I aim to have a introduction video up later in the week.

Unfortunately that has to come off as it was the organisation that previously owned it when it was located in Ireland. Its why I've no side pictures until its removed.

Hope you have checked the plenum Colin? With all this rain you could end up with more than you bargained for. Looks in nice condition from the pictures provided.Best of luck with the repairs.

Haha, yes I rodded them before the mot and the drive to the government test centre, loosened them up rightly, poor tester got absolutely soaked when it was on "the shaker" and the last of it dropped onto him.

What do you plan to do with it?
Unusual but not really much use apart from the funeral business 🤔
