Secondhand hoods do come up for sale and the rear section is available as a separate part, if you can find one.
I like Twin Cams.... and Single Cams...and now Turbos

She looks very nice anchor! nice match of BRG and full grey leather interior!

Just as a matter of interest do those wheels fit the floating cone wheel nuts or the latter type? :)

Hi - thanks for the kind words.

I have found a replacement screen at £170 - eff knows how to fit the bugger - there is a thread on here where someone has done it - looks complicated!

The colours are ace - it's a bloody nice car, £800 well spent.

Not sure re the wheel nuts - can you tell me what I am looking for?

The 'floating cone' type wheel nut was fitted to the earlier Rovers with alloy wheels, see:-
https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-RRD10004
It's referred to as 'floating cone' because the flange that goes up against the wheel, although attached, is loose, rather than being a solid, one piece item.

:welcome

Very nice looking car. BGR with smokestone leather interior :clapping

These wheels should come with the "older" "floating cone" wheel nuts. The wheels are called "Classic" (RRC109440MNH). I have the same wheels on my Tourer.

So - my third Cabby.

It has a new roof so that is a releif as it is my daily drive. My old one was leaking a little.

Cheers.

Have I got it wrong then - is this a 214? I always thought they were 216's.

Blimey - you think you know something!
