New to the Forum, but not to Rover

Post by IFletch »

Hi, I have been a Rover enthusiast ever since I started selling SD1's in '77. I progressed to being a Dealer Sales Manager in the 80's, after a spell with Mitsubishi I returned to things Rover with Barretts of Canterbury in '95 leaving them in 03 for a Motor Industry IT company.
I have therefore had the pleasure of driving most of the cars from new. My favorites were 85/86 Montego VDPi's and a 98 420D Saloon.
Now retired I have got (too?) involved with Montego Estates.
The 45 20D Impression was bought last year to use either as a daily or to donate its engine to a Montego (Shame on me, I hear you cry!)
.... but the 2.0i Estate has recently found me and so the 45 has to go as I only have room for 4 cars...
I will post the 45 Impression details separately in the For Sale section.
07 Renault 1.9D Megane Estate
03 420D Impression Hatchback
93 2.0i Montego Countryman
91 Lotus Elan SE
86 Montego 2.0HL Estate

:welcome

Dad drove several Montegos when he worked for Rover. He had a VDP Estate at one stage. A real load hauler and comfortable as well!

Another car on the shopping list for when I win the lottery and can afford to buy a Warehouse! :angel
