Well, my firts time at the POL and what a fantastic day.

We drove across to Beconsfield and set off at 8am. It was a bit gloomy to start with but then the sun came out.

The drive up was amazing, with at times, the whole M40,as far as the eye could see being awash with Britains finest.
MGs,Metros,75's, Maestros,800's 400's 200's SD1's Allegros. Just amazing.

Rickys MG

Image
He was just getting a cup of tea as we were leaving.


Susie took some pictures on the move.
Image

Nice plate
Image

This was cute
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

...he then came past us at a stately 70mph :wink:
Image

Upon arriving there were already some 800s so we lined up with them

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Our lovely little SE
Image

Dusans unique one off interior. Leather clad Ricaros with matching green cloth inserts. NICE.

Image

Image

Now for the really sexy stuff

This is, they believe one of the earliest Allegros built an SS.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

More 800s turn up
Image

Ryan manages to blag the Hampton car for the show. Good effort (jammy so and so)

Image

Soon there is not enough room in the original line and a second line of 800s is started

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

This lovely Mark one couldn't get in the second row so had to start a third.

Image

Image

Image

Kevin, a new member hopefully. Thank you for the lovely cakes. That was sweet of you.

Image

Image

Alex turns up with his raspy 30000000000mile concoction. ITS ALIVE.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Found these two skulking in another part of the field but couldn't find the drivers to tell them about the club...whoops sorry ....forum

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


Image

Image

This was very nice and was for sale for £495 with, I think 99000 on the clock.
Image

Image

Image


Unfortunately the weather turned nasty at about 2pm so a lot of people began to leave early.
It was nice to meet up with everyone again and put some faces to names.

With the attendance we had which I would estimate to be at least 20 800s we could easily give the SD1, 75 club a run for their money at other major events.
With the increased publicity from enthusiasts such as Peter Simpson Editor in Chief of Classic Car Buyer (Nice Coupe Peter. You know where I am if you want to sell it :wink: )and forum members such as Alex organising shows, I think the sun is finally rising over the 800 mark after its years of obscurity in the shadows.
Watch those prices start to go up.

A cracking day. We are already looking forward to next year.

Kate :D

Great pictures! The silver Sterling 'skulking' in a couple of the pics is mine :D

You're right though, it was great to see so many 800s together. It looks like the profile of these forgotten Rovers is starting to rise...

Yeh, thanks for the pics - NOT! :wink: ....

I spent the last few months convincing myself that I didn't want a coupe and you go and put up some pics of them in BRG & Anthracite (Charcoal?) ...... my two favourite Vitesse colours .... Now I've turned into a 6ft Gollum !

It was a good day, I have a few photos I will try and add up later. After seening the condition of some 800s, espcially the Bolero Vitesse Coupe, I realised I need to start on mine. Just bought a pair of wings so when the weahter breaks and I have time to play I can start getting the coupe ready.

Next year we are planning to bring at least 2 800s maybe 3 with us.
