This is a new web site set up about my car, waddya fink?? :D

nice looking motor m8

Two problems, one, the links are impossible to see with that background and two, the interior section mentions fake wood, in the mk2's rover did not use fake wood, it is all real walnut, simply prise it off and look and feel the back, as real as can be, they started using fake wood in the mk3's

Well I never!!! :yikes:

v funny story on that site!

Should all be working now, however, the why the cars great bit still isn't done yet.. as I need to think what to write. :D

Wasn't it just the dash hockey stick that was real wood?? The bits on the doors on my old 214SLi were plastic, I'm sure...

Webbys a bit harsh considering the age of the car - drove a j-plate sunny which would have been a similar price to your car and i was amazed at how crap it was, seriously the car was so bad insidie i honestly wonder how they shifted them from the showrooms. In comparison the rover ones were about 200 million times better.

wot has a sunny gotto do with a rover???:confused: :confused: :err: :err:

m.williams...found ur check book yet!!!???
CMON!

Gentlemen, I can assure you that the Walnut veener trim (all of it ) that you see in the MKII 200/400 Rovers, and all Rovers at that time, was indeed real.
I know as a distributor that I was responsible for at the time sold the supplier the automatic 2K proportining unit for the clear lacquer spray application.
I was involved with the spray trials at the time (circa 1991), back in the days when I still got my hands dirty.

So unlike Fords and Vauxhalls of the same vintage who used transfer prints on plastic, Rover used the real thing.

The supplier (who's name I cant remeber but were in Northamptonshire not far from Silverstone) also were the supplier to Jaguar.
