A 420 as a first car!

I hope you'll find any help you need here and look forward to seeing you out-and-about or at a show this year

I like Twin Cams.... and Single Cams...and now Turbos

There is very little regarding our cars that someone on here will not have knowledge of!
I hope you enjoy your new purchase!

I felt a bit like that when I first joined the club. But it doesn’t really matter what state your car is in If you’re enjoying its ownership and working to make it better. People are only too glad to see you at shows and discuss the work you’re carrying out.
Ignore the occasional passing idiot that make derogatory comments , there are always some, but they are few and far between

Thanks all, I've already had the "Why did you buy that" comments from work colleagues luckily for me I have ADD ADHD and at the ripe age of 45 have mastered the ability to not give a ****

*laughs*! I received a lot stick from former colleagues over my love of Rovers, but in reality, quite a few really liked them but didn’t want to admit it in public!!!!
A typical remark, in this case about the 75, was “How on earth did a company produce such a good car like this, and not survive?”
And welcome to the club. I’ve found my membership invaluable over the years, especially as I’m a mechanically useless!
PS Any photos of the car?

Yeah my 420 I had I can remember saying myself that I needed a straw hat and walking stick for the parcel shelf
but fell in love with it, and it only cost me £130 bucks

I'll add some pics when I get chance to take some, here's one of my 420 I had years ago

I miss that one
