Hi, I keep seeing the below vehicle being driven by an older Lady in a local village and today on my rounds came across it parked up, it looks tidy and can’t remember the last time I saw one before this one

Dream car of my youth. I liked the earlier MR2’s so much better than the latter one’s.
Sat in one when I was about 15 at the Royal Norfolk Show. A great looking car and as you so rightly say, a rare motor to be seen on the road. Clocked a TR8 on the A11 east bound tonight. I think the Triumphs are more collectible (and a bit older, but not much!) than say a Toyota MR2. I can’t actually recall the last time I saw a TR8? |

I did see a mk1 MR2, might have been on an A reg. This was a few months ago, i think i mentioned it on here. Its been a good while since i saw the mk2 variant. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

The later face lift rovers i don't that many were made, i do remember reading that the later front ends were a nightmare to get hold of, after rover went bust. I suspect that they didn't make many service parts at the time, due to what was going on at the time. This will explain why you see a lot of the later rovers with out the front ends on, in breaker yards.

Friend of mine had a Rover 75, I've got to admit, it was damn comfy, had all the bells and whistles and was pretty pokey. He used to go to sea for a few months and he always asked me to give a quick run now and again, the seats really hugged you softly  just felt like driving around in an armchair.
Unfortunately that developed a few problems that just weren't financially viable to fix, so went to car heaven in the end...
