Re: PoL - 18th April 2015
Great day. Even better turnout this year, so everyone was saying:

Excellent showing from club members and other arrivals from all over the country:



Although I wasn't too sure about this one. I think I've correctly spotted a "cut 'n shut." Or if Rover did in fact make official R8 trailers, they should have used the advertising strapline "The Rover 200. It's a car and a half." The ultimate question, of course, is whether the owner has wired up the rear windscreen wiper and demister as well. I never asked.

Some other two-tone cars produced at Longbridge:

And an all-original Rover 12:

Thanks for these pics - I'm sure there'll be more to come.
Didn't spot the trailer - wish I had as it looks brill.
I've shared both the aerial drone footage ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o3swqq6Ey4 ) and the panoramic shot ( http://ukuavs.co.uk/pol.html) from the POL facebook page on our club Facebook page - they're well worth a look. Spot your car!

What an amazing day. Like the aerial footage gives an idea of how big and important this event has become.

There's a rather nice black GTi somewhere out there with your name on it. Twicecarl747 wrote:By far the best POL been too great day out
