Attended Best of British today, last time I was there was in 2018 when the show was British Marques day formally known as Austin, Morris day. Anyway, thought I'd recreate the photo that I took with SOA seen as so many of its bits live on in Tex.
Was a tad warm today tho 🥵

"Cruising Rover", JDM Rover 416 Tourer advert, no idea on the date text reads as follows (using Google translate)...

A British sportsman who works up a light, comfortable sweat without losing his elegance. This is the new world of estate cars that the Rover 416 Tourer aims to create. Open the door and you'll find a rich interior with British tradition. In addition to high safety features such as the SRS airbag system and seatbelt pretensioners, there are sports-shaped genuine leather seats with exquisite hold. Furthermore, there are beautiful walnut panels that soothe the soul. It is a comfortable living space filled with a sense of security and comfort that was previously unattainable in estate cars. Of course, folding down the rear seats reveals the vast space that is characteristic of estate cars, so it is also highly practical. We have deeply focused on the usability of an estate car in addition to the comfort of a sedan. Embark on a weekend trip in the 416 Tourer. Please enjoy your time to the fullest. Comfort is what makes a Rover. Cruising Rover.

Whilst rummaging through some boxes I found this blast from the past, is the list (one of) I made of all the parts I needed to rip off the green Tourer to shove in my 1.3L fabia s**t box the drive from Hastings to Coventry to throw onto Tex. Probably the 2nd/3rd list as it doesn't include any of the suspension.

Note, Nitromors, the only way to get the multiple layers of paint off Tex was to, use a concoction of Nitromors and petrol slapped on and wiped/scraped off. Then repeated over the whole car.
