Rover V8 premium bumper chrome surround.

[David]

if it is who I think it is he is looking to purchase a V8 with a damaged surround so no surprise he has not posted or become a full member. I do not think a comment like that is helpful in welcoming people to the forum as I am sure many who are on here just sit quietly

Not being privy to the inside info you apparently have, Les, it appears that both Nich and I jumped to the obvious conclusion that the guy was looking for a surround for a car he already owns. Generally that's how it works, isn't it? On that very reasonable assumption, I think that both Nich and I gave him good advice to help him live with an R75V8, and with all that it will undoubtedly ask of its owner, sooner or later.

Just shows, never jump to conclusions

Maybe I should have introduced myself a bit more before posting...

I am a long-time owner and enthusiast of Rover 75's and ZT's. I currently own a Cowley 75 2.0V6 Club SE Auto, a Cdti 75 Auto Tourer and a ZT-T+ 190 along with an MG TF115.

I have been active on the 75 and ZT Club forum and have been organising meets and events in S. Wales for many years, now. My username over there is BigBen, and you're welcome to check out my profile HERE.

Please also feel free to browse my Flikr photostream HERE in which you will find pics of all my current cars, and of the various meets and events I have been involved in over the last few years or so.

I am looking for a R75 V8 to add to the 'fleet'. I am well-aware of the marque, and many of the idiosyncrasies of the V8 variant having talked to many owners over the years - although new input is, of course, always welcome!

I joined this forum when I was first looking for an R75 V8 last year, fully intending to become a full member once I had purchased one. However soon afterwards my mother suddenly and completely unexpectedly developed a brain tumour and within 3 months passed away; after dealing with the resulting effects within the family I more-or-less took a whole year off from the usual shows, etc.

Les also frequents "the other side", so has seen my practically identical posts on THIS thread there...

I have been viewing cars in the last month or so and have found one I really like, but the premium grille surround has been stolen - so therefore I was just "testing the water" as to if anyone knew of the whereabouts of some rocking horse poo!
