As I just joined I thought I would share some pics of my Rover, duly noting the demise of the Rover section I think it appropriate to share.
Rovers as a Marque seem to be enjoying a resurgence in active restoration and ownership not to mention rapidly elevating prices, this in particular to the P6.
My car has never been restored however it has been maintained its entire life and consequently no restoration is needed, indeed the car is pretty much like new for the most part except for exterior paint and the odd panel defect caused by my self
I originally purchased the car in 1987 in like new condition then sold it to a neighbor about 3 or 4 years later only to repurchase it again a couple of years later in slightly degraded panel condition and some UV damage to dash and upholstery tops of rear seats. Other than his brief ownership the car had always been garaged. All of the wear I remeadiated back to where it had been except the paint and odd panel mark.
The car has a few upgrades to keep it up to modern car standards such as fueling and steering and suspension.
The car is in regular use and like most NZ rovers (and cars in general) has NO rust.

YES, there are a lot of them still about, as they are so well built and rust is not an issue.
The V8's dominate as they are such a reliable engine with all the parts readily available unlike the 4 pots.
