One man, his beard and the perils of maintaining cars in an urban area with no off street parking.
This is my take on modern classics with cars from the MG Rover group being my staple. Although I do dabble in others from time to time as well!

A fair price for the car. One point from your video, the wing on the mk1 does not need the V8 badge. It was just on the rear. ;)
You have to do what's best for you
2 Door would be nice
A man after my own heart. Beardy and into bangers, though by the look of it, you're forking out a bit more than me.
Time to move up to a Focus ST then 😄 🙈
I recently bought my ZT 260 a couple of weeks ago. Chassis number 469. I absolutely love her and she's my dream car too. She has a superb history and I've already done some light work on her, including rear light gaskets, front brake pads, new front grill badge, new mats, and a fake rear air vent installation, in place of the cubby blanking plate. She drives brilliantly...for now 😂 I hope I can enjoy her for the next year or so, but chances are I'll probably fall out of love with it too and sell it on, just like yourself. Here's hoping you get a good price for yours, she moves to a new home who will keep her on the road, and all the best for your future projects! Looking forward to seeing them! 😊👍
👍👍
An extremely fair price for a v8 needing minor work. Tbh you summed it all up, and it's probably why I'd never own one. It's a great shame we never saw the kv8 or the tvr spec rover v8 into them. Can you imagine a rover 75 with a modern tweeked rover v8 in it. Modern fueling system, modern gear boxes to match, thry couldn't have kept them on the fore court.
I often wonder what if.... 3.9 Range Rover lump etc etc. Would have been quite something!
Sorry to hear it’s going, I do know what you mean about an addictive sound. Hope it sells quickly..
Thank you
I really wanted a 260 as I saw it as the ultimate MGR car ( SV aside) but the novelty soon wore off what with the mediocre performance and shocking fuel consumption. These sould all have had a supercharger fitted from the factory and probably the 4v engine as well. I'm sure it will sell quickly at that price Rob.
Thanks Dave. Yes, if MGR had taken a step back and thought about things, rather than just bunging a load of random parts in a good chassis, they may have gone somewhere. Saying that, I do need to drive a supercharged variant at some point!
Good to see you bro, love seeing you doing what you are keen on. It's why we're here eh? Do what you think is right, always
Thanks man! It's been too long!
Oh no! You’ve come so far with bringing her back from the brink. All the big jobs seem to have been done so this will make it a real bargain.
I have 4 ZTs and 1 75 so a couple have to go... sadly this is one of them. But it's a great light project for someone, as you say, the hard yards have been done.
This will make someone a wonderful car. I hope you sell it quick.
Thanks Ian

Коментарий чисто для продвижения
MG это настоящая Английская авто! Мне нравиться
Haha loving the Chris Taylor spec. Although you’re now gunna have to do a video on my fleet in order to make it make sense to those not in the know.
That can be arranged!
That does look nice. I had a feeling it might have been a van version.
It has possibilities!
Very unusual I must say
Thanks Gary
Well ... hello there! I like it! One my favourite cars I personally had was a 1980 MiniVan and here is the Rover 25 equivolent! Bring back windy windows I say!😀
Someone has a problem......😮😂!
I know, I know!
Can you get some decals on it for a fake bee keeping business? This will enable you to put signs in the back saying 'caution 30,000 bees inside'. No thief has got time for 30,000 bees so it will never get broken into, the basic animal fear of bees will work its magic to comic effect. "Beards and Bee Hives" will suffice as a faux brand, you can also claim to be established in something silly like 1873 and embroider the company 'fakelore' with branding for many bee services, for example, hive maintenance, worker bee training, pest control, queen bee logistics and so on. Just add a few hexagons to the graphic design and create a vehicle that no sane person would ever dare enter.
I like this line of thinking
@@beardsandbangers "Beards and Bees" - you will need to go all in with a website, social media and so much more. The audience can be in on the joke and you can do things like move 'cannabis' plants around, which are just nettles, or have loads of hot women hop out the back, having just been 'people smuggled'. Every week it could be even more ludicrous contraband - Javelin missiles - thousands of elf bars, whatever is topical - you just have to label cardboard boxes. The joke is the "beards and bees" business can have no customers, like a pure front operation, but you could sell beeswax for beards to make it almost plausible. Compare with Cleetus McFarland and his faux tow business or faux body shop. Think how well the 'beards and bees' T-shirts, mugs and hats will sell. Also lots of facts about actual bees can go in the show, all freshly Googled. You can also go to county fairs and set up a faux stall, passing off golden syrup as honey, taking the piss out of the real honey trade. Obviously the customers are your mates.
Nice find Rob, black bonnet awful 😖 nice alloys tyre's
Thanks John. Yes, a new bonnet is urgently needed.
Owee that's a tasty little project 😍 I am tres Jealous!!
It seems quite solid, and the engine is good. Just a little exterior fettling needed.
That's a bloody straight looking little van. I rather like that. Zr seats are actually nice.
Thanks Col. Just trying to work out what to do on the inside but the seats do work.
🧙♂️
Another headlining job 😁, I bet the vans are quite rare Rob?. Sould scrub up OK 👍
Yes, another headlining! I think there are a about 30 Commerce vans left on the road. I haven't seen one myself for a long time as the Express vans are the one everyone notices!
The Cows want their Milk back
😂😂
These ones are coming to a burger near you, soon!
Great addition to your fleet & a rare vehicle these days, look forward to the project
Thanks Mark
Great show thanks for all the hard work making it happen just gutted I couldn’t make it in the montego
But you made it! That's the main thing and it was nice to see you and your family!
What a nice little commercial 25. I love a van, discreet and basic. And a few new subs over the fence at the end with some of the best feedback 😂
Thanks Ross, it will be the B&B/Crank Cases wagen! The cows all have accounts now!
What a lovely thing this is! Get some magnetic signs!
They are on order!
Well done Rob and everyone else involved!
Thanks Tom
I never organized a Show. But I have been hit with a Fence, but NEVER at a Car Show 😮😜...
those John's smith's would've gone down a treat Sunday afternoon. Nice one Rob. Now for Joseph's report 😂..
No one drunk them. Cold lager was the order of the weekend!
A great day. Well worth travelling from Leicester for. Lots of people seemed to like my little MGF. I’ll definitely be here again next year.
See you at the next one!
Glad to see the car has gone to a good home, Looking forward to following the journey with this
Thanks Jack. Will try to get some content out in the next couple of weeks
Nice insight. Nice to see the grass cut, quite bleached. I've been to a few where the grass was really deep and you couldn't see what you were driving over or into. not good when your car is low on the ground. Weather can play a big part as POL shows. Enjoyed the video.
Thank you kindly.
Great to see behind the scenes & excellent it was a great show
It was a great show. Hard work, but seriously worth it
A great day. Thank you to you and the team fir all your hard work.
Thanks Ash. Nice to see you there!
I think you're taking the piss with all those toilets 🤔🤣
You would have to ask Tommy about that!
An excellent day
It was, and it was made better by having my good friends there!
🧙♂️
That intro sounded like melted dark chocolate. 👌
Dark chocolate doesn’t make a sound, in our neck of the woods
@@badbooks476 Maybe you just don't treat it right. 😜
Terry's? Although I think Terry is Norman's other brother?
I had the devils own job to find some front shocks for my 260. I eventually found someone in the owners club who had some. faced with the probability of needing more obselete parts. I let it go to a new home.
Excellent day Rob and all involved
Thank you for coming mate!
It's really weird watching someone drive your car....
You’ve bought this from Dan?
@@beardsandbangersyep last weekend 😊 Feeling rather pleased with myself…
@@beardsandbangers and this video sealed the deal!
