Default The Spice Tourer.

I have just bought the Monogram Spice Tourer!
I know I have let my heart rule my head but there is only one.
The repair list now runs to two pages plus. I am going to be at this for a long time.
Please everyone I want to know all about the car from birth to me buying it on October 25th 2019. When it was damaged, when it was fixed who has owned it etc.
Fifteen years of history to account for. I know that some of it’s MOT history is a work of fiction! But I do want to find out all I can.
If anybody has any info on this car even just a sighting of it please get in touch.
I will restore it all be very slowly as my age and health are against me. I am going to do it myself not going to the local Garage.
Sadly I stopped doing these jobs ten years ago when I retired. So when I found the first tourer built after Rovers 5,000,000 car I felt it had to be saved, a decision I am sure I will live to regret.

It was tempting but just a little too high on the miles for me to make any good use of it

You don't worry about the miles!

Aye! I very nearly bought it! But being realistic it made no sense with 2 Monograms sitting doing nothing already. Love the colour and the rarity of it though.

Just had a look at your Cars via the link in your signature


what happened with the ZT ? I hope everyone was ok? - looks like the fencing rail has entered the Cabin
