Does anyone know of a website where its possible to find Repair Panels and chassis Sections for a Rover 100? The Auntie Rover that is, not the Metro thingy...

Yes, that was the only site I found that even mentioned them. Every time I trawl, the only thing that I come up with is Metros. Rolling Eyes

Surely someone that sells these has the sense to have a website? What I was hoping for is a direct link...surely someone on here knows where I can find that

It doesn't look too bad for standing 13 years.

What's needed to make it roadworthy?

The 13 years should have been 11. It was last tested 13 years ago, and taken off the road 2 years after that.

According to the owner, the brakes are faulty, which is understandable I suppose. I'll bet though that there is rust in the usual places, which is the reason I wanted to know if repair sections are available.

Registering for the forum is free - you do not have to be a member of the Guild.

I was checking spares availability before making an offer for it, but certain events over the weekend have put a stop to that, i'm sorry to say.

Years ago, I used to have a 105S, and have a lot of fond memories. i can even remember the first tune I heard on its radio!

shame you can't take it on UJ, would be a nice runabout!

So what was the first tune you heard in the other P4? funnily enough, the first time I tuned in the wireless in the A55 on its arrival here, what should be playing but the Rolling Stones, seemed appropriate somehow Cool
