Re: [doc] OT - Poss bad news for Rover Owners out there

["blackaddertoo" <blackaddertoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi

one of my part time hobbies!!?? is buying total losses off the trade 
and repairing them.

i have had the option recently of buying a city rover, one needing a 
front bonnet/bumper (car only a few months old and less than a 
grand!). i tried several rover dealers who said no stocks available 
now and non to be delivered to the country!.

so to all the peole who think/thought that new stocks of rover parts 
will be available for years to come could be a shock.

i think particularly trim parts will be very difficult to get hold of
and as claire said i don't think you will be buying a rover 75 nos 
rover door or bonnet in 25 years time!.
just shows JZD had the right ideas and its a trubute to him that so 
many of his cars survive today.
i wish a team of UK volunteers would dive for the lost dies (if 
youv'e been reading the US yahoo)

Regards

Steve
