Just found out that my local Rover specialist has been forced to close due to redevelopment plans. Been taking my cars here for as long as I’ve been able to drive, and it’s the only place I’ve really felt able to trust for the more complex jobs and that in-depth MGR knowledge when you need it. Particularly rubbish for the guys who were running the place, as it was basically an employee buy-out when the owner retired, and they only took over a couple of years ago. Hope they manage to land on their feet and find something else quickly.

Even still had the original dealer sticker in the back window - looks to have been bought new in Hatfield, Herts (not far from where I spotted it).

Not every day you spot a 125P in the Homebase car park! Reckon there must be single figures of these left in the UK now. Minty as well. Yes, I did get so excited that I put my finger over the lens...

This might sink without trace... However, as new members have been unable to register for so long, it's likely we'll have a large influx of new folk over the coming days. I thought it might be worth starting a thread for such people to introduce themselves to the more established Autoshiters, tell us about their motoring habits and the like. Just so this isn't a wasted visit for the rest of you, here's a picture of some crazy guys with a Talbot Alpine
