Collecting the remains of a 1947 Rover; despite appearances, the car is essentially complete and in surprisingly good condition.

I did a lot of welding and rebuilt the front end, floors and sills, but have passed it over to my son as he is more likely to be able to finish the project. It has reached a point where it needs serious money thrown at it.
He has also taken the Morris 1000, which is now well known at the owners club rallies around the area.

We moved house a few years ago, and the Guzzi has been off the road since then.
I had fully intended having it back in use this year, but time has slipped away; I have bought a new stainless exhaust system for it, and new brake callipers, as the old ones were seized, so with a few other bits and pieces already got, I have everything I need to sort it out for next spring.
I agree that they are fantastic machines, I can’t wait to start riding it again, it was totally reliable and never missed a beat in well over 50,000 miles and any problems I have had have been the result of it standing doing nothing for too long.

I know you didn’t want caravans, but…(also tow an Erde 120 for tip runs, excellent little thing)

Previous 2018 V90 D4 and a Sprite Quattro EB shown on a previous page, our current 2022 V90 B4 and Sprite Major EB below (downsized the caravan now daughter is at university). Both the D4 and B4 made fine tow cars.

I had to move a shed today to another house. What could possibly go wrong?
