the Wolsley is just basically a badge-engineered Cambridge.....would have been a real image builder for the owner back in the day :!:

The Minx........ man what they do to the poor thing???
There's a nice one down Robert Village side....green..but silly 3 spoke rims

pfffffffffffffft it only rare in Trinidad.....they made about 25,000 in total..not huge but not particularly rare either.....
I can take you to see a Lancia Flaminia :wink:

I can also take you to meet the guy whose dad had an Austin Healey Silverstone :shock:

Didn't even know what that was when he told me..........it was scrapped for storage and someone stole the aluminium panels for scrap :shock:

That Wolsley is still just a rebadged Farina Cambridge...there's a Peugeot version in Valsayn too :!:

MG Man · Postby **MG Man** » February 15th, 2010, 2:53 pm

lol I love those Ladas. If I could find a wagon with a solid body I'd buy it :mrgreen:

25k............meh especially when you consider it is just a variant of a mass produced design.....best trim of the range, but least powered as well.....meh.....even the MG variant of the Farina Austin isn't particularly sought after.....

RoTaRyBoYz · Postby **RoTaRyBoYz** » February 16th, 2010, 1:24 am

My old man had a very clean Rover (white) back in the day. He later sold it to some family in Rio and I believe the person crashed it after owning it for over 20 years :shock:

The guy really took good care of it. Maybe some of the 2NR's in Rio Claro might have seen it around.

When my old man bought it from a friend in Mt Hope, it had rats living in it, but he brought it back to life. It's just as clean, maybe even cleaner than the one above :shock:

There's a gut here with some nice old school. I'll try to get some pics.

PO? after tabaquite junction?
It was for sale a couple years go
dunno where it gone tho...............

RoTaRyBoYz · Postby **RoTaRyBoYz** » February 16th, 2010, 2:38 am

I believe it was PO. I haven't seen it in probably 5 years, but I know it was well kept.

It was located by a tire shop just a few miles before Rio junction if heading towards Manzan side. It sat abandon in a shop between Carib car park and the UBH lights till it was rescued by the old man.

Probably the newest Rover (RHD) I've ever seen was at a resto shop in NY. Black exterior with NEW black interior. Sadly the owner never picked it up after resto and it sat in the corner of the shop collecting dust for a few years. Shop close now, so I don't know where it went after
