[Rovernet] Geezers...

[Ruggeri, Robert]

Weighing in here as I don't know the gentlemen referenced except for Charlie Stutt. He lived a few miles from me in the Albany, NY area.  I went over one day to see him many years ago as I believe he had a yellow P6 for sale.  He also had a green one (manual with A/C) and a third as well, all in good nick. He offered me the lot for a very fair price.  I didn't take them (had insufficient garage space at the time) but it was  by far the biggest "car mistake" I ever made - among many.

I saw his yellow P6 a year ago, parked in front of a house in the area, not in great shape.  Owner said he had purchased it from the estate.

Charlie was, in my limited experience, a very nice man and a fine gentleman.

Dermot, I think I only met Charlie Stutt one time. Was he in upstate NY up Hank's way? Seems as if we met somewhere up and it might have been Hank's birthday. Might be a manufactured memory. Glen

Hi Franc and Hi Glen!
Seems to be old geezer day here!  Let us remember Charlie Stutt while we are reminiscing- a true Rover  gentleman.
Franc, I still have my “GB specced” 3500SD1NADA, though alas the  ECU I got from you has become unreliable in its old age. I bought another at a SD1 club swap meet but that didn’t work! So the car soldiers on with a tepid NADA ECU. Now if only I can fix the dreaded rear door lock…..

Nice to hear from you also, Pierre! I remember with fond amusement of transacting a Rover parts deal with you in the shadow of the Law Courts in Fleet Street many years ago.

Happy Holidays to you all,


Dermot

    Welcome back Glen - I remember you from the old days! I've been a subscriber to this List since last century, not quite catching up with you but anticipating my UK State pension in a month when I'll be (a fairly spry) 66 😉

    I don't post here much as I don't have much to contribute - I only own Land Rovers now, having sold my SD1 many years ago, but it's good to lurk and keep up with things Rover! Great to see how cars like the P6 are still revered in foreign parts, probably more so than here in the UK!

    Whilst I'm here, Season's Greetings all, and here's hoping for a much more normal 2021 😉

    Cheers,
       Franc.
