ah I didn't realise (got told otherwise)
I'm a bit gutted to be honest as ive already found a place in my heart for the old girl.. but I think this is the main reason I want to pass her on to the right person.

Re: New owner of 1939 Rover 14 Sports Saloon (barn find)

looks like after a week of contemplation myself and the better half have come to the conclusion the car needs a better home.
