Not sure you can mention a Rover 75 in the same breath

Interesting video. At the time it was like what are Rover doing to the poor little 25 with the jacked up suspension, black plastic cladding everywhere and roof rails??? With hindsight, now it looks like Rover were leading the pack with Ford doing similar to Fiesta and Focus 'Active' versions and then the full fat crossover Puma and Peugeot introducing '00' versions of their hatches.

You're going to be sor-ry 😮🤔! You don't sell 'em! You just pack 'em away! But ONLY IF you live in the Desert 😅!

😢

Good to see this event. Thanks for the video.

Bring back the WELCOME TO BEARDS AND BANGERSSSSS intro.

Best of luck with the sale, Rob, you have certainly maintained & future proofed Penny

🧙‍♂️

Looking great Sir Rob, I do like the Pearl Black as on my ZS 😍

Lovely job again 👍🏻

Great job mate where is your r50

Bring back the WELCOME TO BEARDS AND BANGERSSSSS intro.

Tip for the next time you're removing a badge, just put a screw through the badge in the middle and use plyers to wiggle it of, far less chance of damage that way😉

Keep it - Mk2 Tourings look fantistic... although I might be biased!

It looks very nice. To be honest I’d rather sell the biomorphic green ZR & keep this, it’s much more presentable & practical.

Evening Rob, hard to believe they are over 20 years old now. Am I right in thinking after the collapse of rover some were found in Longbridge with K series engines? Not sure if K8 or K18 Cheers Russ

Great video mate what lovely colours very impressive

For a Mg/ Rover novice, that was a great lesson on the colours and flips. I'm Dorchester all the way with matching interior. Nice one Mr. B&B 👍

yes 6 series e9 only made one

What a line up!

Would have been a better video if the presenter had focussed on some of the rarer and more interesting cars and not started by showing us his not so classic more modern era MG.

Great selection, the sun spot yellow mg is currently on ebay.

What's the fascination for the BRM. I think the styling is not great, with that silly orange bumper section which stands out in the wrong way, & that awful gaudy interior. Nothing wrong with the overall shape, but prefer the MG ZR.

This is rebadged TATA and we fortunately didn't get the city Rover in Australia but we unfortunately got TATA but they were yes were commercial utes and they were bad so l pretty sure there cars were of poor quality l think it deserves the Rover badge because the last Rovers were pretty crap also and in lndia these would have competed against the Maruti Suzuki's after all we all know how well Suzuki's are put together infact we own a 2017 Suzuki Baleno and it's fine and don't forget Toyota yes Toyota rebadge the Suzuki Baleno as the Toyota Starlet unfortunately not sold in Australia and you know what the reputation of Toyota is excellent for reliability and how well built they of course l do own a 1997 Toyota Hilux and it is the best carburatored 4 cylinder vehicle l have ever owned it is just so good and it has only done 437000 kilometres and most British cars will never do that many without an engine rebuild also in Australia we get Mahindras not common yet but in the Hunter Valley in N.S.W there is a small courier company that has 4 Mahindra PikUps there the 4X4 utes and all 4 of them have done over 500000 kilometres without any problems that are kilometres that any British car can only dream of doing without engine work l know you British people put up with bad cars but in Australia Toyota's rule and according to an Australian you tube mechanic if every Australian drove Toyota he would be out of business

Lovely Machinery Rob. Lovely Colors.....🟥🟧🟨🟩🟦🟪🟫⬛⬜

Great video Rob, all those cars are beautiful, tip top condition, I do like that Dorchester 75 beautiful.

As always good video. Sunspot for sale if your interested

After today you won’t need my help identifying the colours 😉. Minor correction Dan’s ZT-T is Poseidon which is a MkII only colour, similar to Typhoon but a different flip. The Biomorphic Green 1.8T ZT parked next to my Typhoon ZT-T came off the production line only five days before & the two have close serial numbers. We met at a previous show & compared notes, the car’s interiors were specified very similar so we suspect a job lot from the parts been that week. He has the beautiful green Alcantara whilst mine got black Alcantara & they both got the Kenwood radios. The other Typhoon ZT-T with the hairpin alloys is identical to mine, same engine, transmission, interior & colour 1 of 45 Typhoon estates (all engine types). His paint pops more than mine because it’s a lot cleaner & polished. I know of at least four remaining & I’ve filmed two of the others at shows. He also has an awesome private plate! The two Mirage paint codes ZT’s together garnered much interest from myself but I never got a chance to film them. The camera doesn’t pick up the difference as well as the naked eye. I do prefer the Mirage I code now I’ve seen them together. Only a show like this could highlight that difference. Oh and Moonshine isn’t subtle under the direct light. Today I could really see that in person, that MG TF & the MG ZR looked stunning under the sunlight. A great day with a 63 car turnout. Good for a niche show of an extinct marque.

Great selection of stunning stuff

Great day today Rob, so nice to meet you Russ. PS Neil's metro and the SD1 are Arum white. A colour that really suits early metro turbos both mk1 and 2

🧙‍♂️

Mr B&B , that was a nice day out. No one should be calling out your car knowledge, it's very commendable. Although every metallic red/ brown is apparently called Rose Taupe according to SP 😂

It’s an NG, not a Morgan between the BMW and the Triumph. These are kits in homage to MG’s and named after the originator, Nick Green.

Nice day out.

Excellent, thanks Rob, but no 'Competitions', maybe next year :)

Love the song at the end California Dreaming

They would have probably got away with it had they not charged so much for it. Buying at £3000 and selling at £5000 rather than the £6500-8500 that they were asking would have got them more sales, especially if they had been honest about it being a budget car rather than a budget car with a premium price.

Warning there is a stalker behind you.

A potential farewell to our old favourite Penny. Custodian of the Royal Boosum. You have served us well m'lady 🫡

*Edit* A Car for young Austin 😮🤪😁😄?? 🚙💨🚙💨......

HubNut's Blue City Rover was the car that put these on the "map"/Internet/YT. He bought it, used it, bought some extra parts (from Rimmer Bros.) and then sent it on its way. It wound up in a Scrapyard which not long afterwards went belly-up. The car was shown briefly in the yard on the "Bearded Explorer's" channel. WHY the HELL an American like me would KNOW all of this nonsense 😮😅?! 🚙💨

Well ... ... hello there!😀 I don't think it was a bad car and I think that it could have sold well given a competitive price tag. The tall roof height was ahead of its time really! However, did it besmirch the name of Rover? Yes it did! Then again Rover besmirched their own name by 'project driving' the quality of cars down! In any event, I wouldn't have called it Rover, how about bringing back the Austin name instead? Austin was more associated with practical and economical cars. Incidentally, not that it is a bad car at all but I don't really think the Streetwise was in keeping with 'Rover' either, so I'd have badged it an Austin as well!

I see one of these every day, there's been one sat just slowly rotting away on a neighbour's drive for the past ten years. It's pretty much a landmark for directions at this point, if someone goes past the mouldy Cityrover to get to my place they've gone too far.

I look at it like this a very cheap car that shouldn't have had a Rover badge they should have brought back another Marque Austin or something like that front I'd give it a 7/10, sides 4/10, back 5/10, interior god awful 2/10

It's a survivor. It avoided top gear live!

Mate is that yours what is happening with your r 50 that city rover shit

The Sh!tyRover, more like...

Adding a laquer peel bonnet, getting more and more appealing to me hahaha
