Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club Forum

I drove the Cabriolet away from the show this evening which is a testament to the work done on over the last 3 days - many thanks to Simon Boosey for leading this work, I know it wasn't easy, especially getting those bushes out

More photos to follow soon

Back home after a busy weekend - not for me as I was at a family wedding in Ireland :blushing - but for everybody who worked and sweated on the cars on the stand over the last 3 days - thank you, you have made a big difference to the cars, their owners and to Crohn's and Colitis UK who are our chari...

The Cabby is in place ready for the fettling to commence

We arrived about 9 to start the stand build https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7903/46713845524_a613067d3b_k.jpg And finished around 6 when all 5 cars had arrived and we'd tidied up https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7907/32495128737_a5085cd765_k.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7850/33560816378_72b75b62c...

Do we know which day we're planning to do the trailing arm bushes?

Simon has it all in his head!

And says he has all tools needed - Many thanks

Rear suspension bushes and cam-cover gasket ordered from Rimmers at trade prices. We'll collect them from them at the show, so no delivery costs

We have ended up with two threads running for this event :blushing So here is a link to the most up to date one :wink3 https://www.rover200.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=12443 This one is meant to be about the overall show , the other thread is about our cabby. Maybe some posts need to be shuff...

Some more still to come :cool Did you do these John, off master tapes? Have they been digitally restored to some degree? - they're pretty good quality (I notice the audio has been cleaned up a lot... or replaced with the actual song recording). A friend did these from the original tapes using a TV ...

You learn something new everyday - I didn’t know we had a YouTube channel!

It's been dormant. A combination of getting vids digitised and remembering how to log in

Carl Martin set it up orginally.

Some more still to come

And finally the one seen most often, the 60 second version

Now the full 90 second version

This is the full 90 second version of "The Graduate " launch advert.

It was only shown once, in the commercial break during Coronation Street, due to cost. The usual ad shown was still long at 60 seconds.

After recent digitisation, here it is... 'teaser' first

Good 20 mile drive in the sun earlier today and got home just before the hailstorm. No major problems uncovered - A-post seal fitment is poor causing wind noise, wheel balance needs to be checked and the radio remote display doesn't work but the radio, and remote controls do. https://farm5.staticfli...
