My rover timeline
Just thought i would share with you my life with Rover through the years and the fantastic time i had with them all so here is my list.
1 ROVER 2000TC MUSTARD 2 ROVER 3.5 SDI WHITE 3 ROVER 800 BLUE 4 ROVER 827 STERLING WHITE 5 ROVER VITESSE SPORT RED 6 ROVER 620 SDI BLACK 7 ROVER 75 1.8 CLUB BLUE 8 ROVER 75 2.5 CON/SE BLUE 9 ROVER 75 2.0 CDTI CON/SE IN MET BLUE I have enjoyed all of these models my favourite being the Vitesse sport Turbo a right boy racer only the Sterling gave me problems with the belt going and the 751.8 club headgasket went. in addition to this i used to deliver components to Cowley each day guess this gives my age away a bit but looking back what is your favourite in the rover line and why |

[MG Metro] [Rover Metro GTi 16v] [Renault Clio 16v] MG ZS180 Triumph Sixfire [Triumph Stag] MG ZT190 SE MG Maestro 2.0i MG ZT260 Cars owned in chronological order (those not in brackets I still have) Loved my Metros - would like another if I had the space! Although Clio was a move away from AR/Rover it was a cracking car to drive I have the Maestro because my Dad had an early EFi back in the day and it was great (as is my own) Andrew

Do you really want a list of all the Rovers I've owned? - it's now just over 100 dating from 1926 to 2001. Still have about 30, most awaiting restoration, although the four modern 75s are running. (Have also had Triumph Stags and Dolly Sprints, also Volvo 240s).
Have Rover and Triumph project cars for sale! |

My first p6 rusted through completely at 8 years of age in 1983. The interior was immaculate. What a waste
My favourite the NZ new 1964 p5 mk 2a still with original paintwork I had to sell in 2013 on return to UK. No salt on the roads. Old Ford Zodiacs got big money, nobody wanted Rovers or XJ6s. |

I bought a Rover 12 when I was 19 (1978)....
It was a runner but I planned to put in a Rover V8 etc. Then realised it was beyond my capabilities so settled for a V6 Ford Pop and sold the 12 on for a small profit. The one and only Rover I've ever owned (if you don't count my ZTT).
