An induction:
My name's Rob and I live in Lincolnshire in the UK and I work in marketing for a car dealer group.
I'm into old cars (especially British ones from the 60s to the 90s). I've got a Rover 75 and I'm currently recommissioning a 90s Mini.
If you're into cars too, give me a follow 😊

As you may have noticed, I'm fairly useless when it comes to anything mechanical. However, I have managed to change the #Rover 75's grille for a slightly nicer one today.
I'll gloss over the fact it only there were only 2 screws to undo...

I do love a #RangeRover Classic. I've probably said before, but it would be the first thing on my post-lottery win car shopping list.
This one is a long wheelbase too, so extra rare.

I'm not usually a fan of Bristols (stop sniggering at the back!), but this #Bristol 411 is a very lovely looking thing.

I would love this so much, so well done.
Staggering details on the one-off P5 estate. Integrated S124 tailgate, reprofilee rear doors with quarterlights, flat folding rear seats with carpet filler, extended by 7 inches, concealed petrol cap. The same bloke built a P5 drop head with an electric Cadillac hood.

It may be Monday tomorrow, but do not fear, the Leycare #Morris Marina van is here to make everything ok.

Hearing of Quentin Wilson's passing today is very sad.
I grew up watching him on TV, and he was a fellow fan of a luxo-barge.
Here's him talking about the Rover 75 in his own unique style.

One of my favourite things at the NEC Classic Motor Show was the #MG PR3, one of the prototypes that led to the MGF.

Leaked photos of the new #Renault Twingo. It's a shame it's lost the hidden rear door handles, but I guess cost constraints came into play. I still think it looks great.

Museum Lates at the British Motor Museum are always good (as is the food), and the Collections Centre and Workshop are my favourite parts of the museum, so I'm hoping this will be extra good.
Anyone else from #WeirdCarBS going along?

The latest film from our Ford Heritage collection is an extract from a longer film called "Year of the Cortina". The 1964 film includes action from the Nürburgring, Brands Hatch, Budapest, and the Alpine and RAC Rallies: youtu.be/I1aNRPpagzM

As the weather was nice today, @tobywakeford.bsky.social and I took the Rover for a run up to Horncastle in #Lincolnshire. Had a wander around the antique shops and had a lovely lunch.

I've done nothing but work for the last week (plus I'm ill 🎻), so I haven't posted anything lately.
To make up for that, how about this (not really an) #Austin Allegro VDP from #FOTU?
Another crazy week of work ahead and then normality should resume 🤞🏻
