Hi guys !

I've found a card of your club on my car at the Pride of Longbridge a mounth ago. My name is Alex, 21 years old, I'm living in Paris, France. Saving some french MG Rover since my drinving licence 3 years ago ! My father was working in a MG Rover garage in Paris, and my family has always had Rover cars.

Since 3 years, I've saved an MG ZR 1.8 120 Xpower grey. It was abandonned in a scrapyard since 2 years after the engine explosion on the motorway. A nice project for a car I've owned 2 years.

An horrible picture when I bought it :



And after !




After that, I've bought an MGF from 98, 1.8 120 too, abandonned since 1 year, always mine today :



And today :





My daily is a Rover 200 Vi. One of my favorite car I think. Cheap, fast, and a perfect sleeper ! Bought it after 1 year stopped on a parking :




Now, with 265 000 km on clock ( 164 000 miles ). Just fitted a black leather interior.




And one of my biggest project, A Rover 216 coupe from 93, who had kissed a floor lamp... A lot of work for a lot of disappointment... For me, the D16 engine is very bland... I'm gonna sell it soon.







And now, with a leather cream interior, with turbo alloys rims.





And recently, I've found my dream, A 620 Ti (yep I've specials dreams ). Abandonned in a parking since 2 years due to a fuel pump failure. I've a lot of projects for this one !



Thanks for all, Pol was a great meet for a first trip with a Rover abroad.

Famili picture in my street. Yep, My neighborhood hates me.



And finally my coupe at the POL, great meet !




Thanks for read and accept me, with my poor level in english

Bye, Alex.

I was the first cabby with the flag.

Can blame kevin for dropping the cards on the cars

It was probable me that put the card on your car.

You joining use and telling your story makes the hours off walking round with the cards worth while.

Nice works on those cars!

You can certainly bring cars back to life!

Great to read your stories and see your photos.

Interesting that you think the D16 engine is 'bland' I like the kick above 5500rpm and it's even more fun as you've got a DOHC - the UK we had only the SOHC below the 2.0.

Pls keep telling us your interesting stories

Thanks all !

I prefer the rover K series engine. It's more linear and nervous. But the sound of the honda engine is very nice ! I hope the T series engine will be up and that the 620 ti will be more efficient than my 200 Vi
