Now that we are into Rovers, I will hijack your thread a bit (still as jealous as a dog
). I went to do a PDI on some cars at the main car compound where cars are held after the delivery from factory before being shipped to their owners. And made an incredible discovery! There are still 5 rovers which are sat there for 12-13 years! It is difficuilt to call them new, but they have delivery mileage on them only! Two rovers 200, two 400's and one MG ZS (2.5 V6 with 170-180 bhp IIRC
The tyres are low on pressure, moss is developing on the cars, incredible. True ofphans, the distributor went bust, the factory as well. I guess somebody owes money to somebody and hence the cars are still there, but incredible, isn't it?! I don't know if they are still starteable, or their engines seized, they surely would need a good clean and polish...
Normally, cars are at the compound for few weeks, two-three months tops, but these have been there for 12-13 years!
Such a waste.....
PS. Sorry AB for the hijack, but thought it would be fitting to share it here
