RRS at Southampton

One of the best sights in Southampton is a carpark full of RRS and Minis (Of which I own both) These cars are obviously waiting for export and are sitting in a multi story carpark only visable from the water. There have to be about 600 RRS there, all colours and models. WHAT A SIGHT! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Bonatti Grey

I see the car transporters loaded up with them coming down the A34 next to us, obviously on their way to Southamton docks. Almost every time I drive on the A34 I see at least one lorry loaded up with RRS & D3s. Matt

RRS ownership for 1 yr, then D3 for 2 yrs. Then cut back to old bangers and working my way back up through two Peugeots in 6 months. Now got Saab 9-5 2.3t and enjoying the performance!

I suppose it's no surprise most of them on that outside row are either silver or black! Impressive view though!

Imagine 2500 of them all on one ship................ which is also just like a floating Multi-storey carpark.
Remember car carrier that rolled over in the Channel 3 or 4 years ago just before Christmas. It contained virtually all the launch Volvo XC90's for the UK market and the US market and set back deliveries to owners here by nearly 9 months! It also contained a lot of BMWs and Saabs all bound to the USA. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Let's play guess how many RRS!
