Not me.

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

No. But I have been before - it was worth it (i prefer classics actually) but it's no Goodwood revival if thats what your looking for.

I may go if the weather is fine, not going to get my car plastered in dirt unneccessarially. I'm on the lookout for a good example MG Metro.

Is there such a thing? I had one in Opaline Green and after 4 years it had terrible rust, despite having had Ziebart rust proofing!

Most definately I had a 1985 C reg one back in 2006 & sold it in 2009 to a collector in Ireland, that car was 95% mint & I now wish I had not sold it. I know of a few very nice one's but I either miss them when sold or they are not for sale in the first place. One thing I do know is that the prices of these are rising quickly Shocked

RE: Classic motor show NEC

Probably because of the rarity of good ones! Like lots of mass produced cars from the 60's and 70's. Young lad in the village here has just brought a Rover City Car which I think was originally imported from Tata in India as the Indicar and completely rebuilt with added wood and toys to suit the UK market. It is pristine and not a speck of rust on it and looks like the day it was delivered despite being painted in solid red.

Won't look like that for long then lol if a boy racer just bought it. Yes Tata (JLR Owner) produced/produce the Indicar which MG Rover bought from them @ £1800 per unit then Roverised it.
Problem was they way overcharged for it (should have started at £4999 instead if £6200). Essentially a pretty good liitle car if the price was right but poor spec against competition & the usual slating from Clarkson even more so as MGR refused to loan Top Gear one so TG hired on lol & compared it against a Fiat Panda.
There is actually more room inside a Cityrover than a Rover 25/200.

MGR also got slated for Roverising another makers car but don't mmany manufacturers do this now? Seems like they got slated for being the first manufacturer to find better ways of saving money & conning the buyer into thinking they were getting a bespoke product - Citroen, Toyota, Vauxhall etc etc.
