New to the forum
Hi all
What a great forum for a 800 Rover fan! Here in Switzerland, there are hardly any Rover's left. You see the odd 75 or 25 on the road but all the early cars, especely the 800 are near to gone So my wife and I have decieded to collect 800 Rover's. Most of the cars, I got for free, because nobody whats this cars and the car dealers are glad to get rid of them otherwise they have to pay the scrapyard to come and collect them.
Now, we are trying to get some parts for the 825Si. Maybe some one can help us out. We are looking for the knobs for the heater controll (non AC) and the platic insert in the door cards at the top RH front and RH Passanger. (Were the Stirling models have wood). Further we are looking for the hand knobs to adjust the seats. The interior color is beige.
Thank's for any reply.
Matthew

My wife collects MG's. She has the hole MGM serie and all of the "zed's". We are just restoring the Metro to get it back on the road for the summer. It's the only one left in Switzerland.

Re: New to the forum
A Nice collection by the sound of it.
I would love to see some pictures of the "MGM" collection.
Do you ever get over to the UK?, we regularly get MGM owners from France, Holland, Denmark and Germany for some of the Biggest shows.
The BMC/BL rally being the biggest show for "All Brit cars built until 1995".

BL DAY 04/08/2013
http://www.bmcblrally.co.uk/1.html
it's officially just a 1 day show, but has organised camping on the Saturday from 4pm.
their are plenty of good B&B places as well as a few local hotels.
The autojumble thats held on the day is likely the biggest All british jumble in the Uk, especially for 80's and 90's parts.
