Eyersey1234 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Had a PM from Six-cylinder, sadly owing to circumstances beyond his or anyones control he is unable to help with the group save this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorrisItalSLX Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 If the Rover has managed to escape, then what is going on with the Maestro and the Cavalier? LightBulbFun and Burnside 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandeth Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Still surprised the Rover escaped...from what I recall it seemed pretty far gone. Maestro is the one i would have plucked from its purgatory if I'd the space. Still happy to throw a few quid into a pot and to potentially lend a hand if we can do something to save it. Just have absolutely no room at the inn nor really the time for another project. While it was quite a grim seeming spec that would have been hard to shift when it arrived there, times have changed...imagine a few people would love it as a simple way to trundle around in these days. Know I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both still there I believe. I thought the Rover sold to Politt's mate 12 months ago for scrap value, but I guess something changed.

sierraman Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I’ve seen this thing in the flesh, it’s fucked. Interesting story behind it but it’s fucked. Unlike fine wine it won’t have got any better in the 15 years it’s been sat there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
