Excellent, we hope to see you at some of the shows when the weather warms up a bit.

Thanks, I'm sure we will, but unfortunately I have to give Show prority to the Avenger Tiger especially since Corgi used it for their model. Would like to get to a show or 2 with the Rover at some point though.

Should get a pic of te 2 together, in the meantime I'll just add a pic of the Tiger to this thread!

Since taking this photo I have replaced the grille badge for the corect pre-74 one.

This view from the rear shows the car in current condition. Over the winter it's time for fresh underseal and replace the minilites with the original factory fitted exacton wheels which are currently being refurbished.

That looks lovely.

Thanks. It's taken 3 years to get it like that. Considered selling it last year and then took it out for a drive, no way!! Too much fun to drive, there's only 15 of them left, I'd never get another one as good, and the Corgi model showing my reg has made the value go through the roof. It complients the SEi well.

They both look great outside the house! Next sunshine when both are polished it will be a "family photo" of both cars!

I have a 3 door 1995 214 SEi in blue hoping to get my engine as clean as that when I get round to it.

I am currently looking for a replacement drivers seat not sure how many trim seat pattern options were available on the SEi does anyone know?

Does anybody else on here have a 3 door SEi? as I have not seen one yet although I have only had mine since September when I replaced my 5 door 1993 Rover 214 SLi due to an accident. (Was a shame as it had only had 2 owners and 23000 genuine miles on the clock!!)

Well, looks like a trip to paint shop for the Rover, dreaded rust on the arch of NSF wing. SO, get it sorted now rather than let it fester. Shame as otherwise it's original, but needs must!

Blowing the winter dust off both motors yesterday:

Rover in for wing repair in 2 weeks, Tiger in for a couple of touch ups on Monday and original wheels in refurb at Laptab in B'ham. It's a car year is 2008!!

The best looking driveway in the neighbourhood!!

Sad day. My fiancee has decided that she wants an automatic, so th SEi has to go.

So I shall post it for sale on here....

Car will come complete with a spare set of alloys and a spare NSF wing in Nightfire.

Personally I'm gutted as this is the best car I've ever owned pound for pound. so it's offered here first as I want this car to go to someone who appreciates the value of this motor.

Amazing history file included!
