Cars to many people are not just a thing to get from A to B, if they were why would you spend so much money/time on it. But with "PCP" deals etc, I fear there is a generation who definitely don't feel like this anymore. But like Mustard says if you don't get this channel, you shouldn't be watching it
Ahh Mrs Doyle in a Nightfire Red dress. What a treat for the peepers! I think you've done OK here. I wonder if this variety of tourer, being lower spec and value, is rarer than the 420GSi? A lot to be said for steel wheels and chunky tyres too
Hello everyone, I'm the new owner of Toby Charles and I promise to look after her! It was mixed feelings for me as well for Paul because although I hadn't owned 'Mrs Doyle' for very long, I had become very attached to her, way more than I had realised until it was time to drive away. The Mrs Doyle Tourer is very likable and driveable and so I'm sure Paul will find things to recommend it. The logic is absolutely there to put the money set aside into TC instead given its rarity and spec, so this is the plan and maybe if Paul wants to, he can review TC's progress further down the line!
Sad times but unfortunately these things happen it's what you have To do keep your head above water I fully understand I was in the same position with Roger the Rover the 800 when I sold him 😊
Since this video covers the necessity for funds, I will reiterate my offer to buy the ignition blue extreme wing you have on the ZS previously owned by JM. I do recall from an earlier video that you don't like those wings anyway, so you might want to make some decent money with it. Just a suggestion 😊
As sad as it is, you did the right thing. When you have a family, children etc., it's important to have strict priorities. Family first, everything else second. You did the right thing, and can have the knowledge that Toby Charles has gone to somewhere where it will be appreciated and cared for, not just used and abused.
Well that was an emotional rollercoaster. Sorry you had to sell your prized 420. Been there myself in the past and it really is heartbreaking. I thought you'd managed to keep it up until near the end. Really hope more people would become channel members, just to take the pressure off. It really would make a difference to Paul.
It’s sad to see how unhappy selling Toby Charles makes you but needs must and your reasoning makes good sense. There will always be the happy memories.
I didn’t realise it had still been for sale after one of your episodes when you said TC would be being kept. I’d certainly would have definitely made you an offer ££££. It’s nice to see you’re keep it though 😊
This reminds me of buying my TF LE500, the seller did not want to sell at all. But after discussion, he decided I was the right buyer, as long as I promised to take care of it. That's how you know you're buying the right car from the right person, when they care like that
Id take the opportunity to fix up a few bits and perhaps move mrs doyle on also to put towards the zs. This can all be contemplated while your out driving the f of course
Toby Charles gets replaced by..... Charles Toby💥👀🤪😜😋?! You could've always just sold Boaty.... but then again he's not really worth that much....😧💸.... Anywho, welcome Mrs. Doyle 🎉🤪!!
I like the new tourer and the honda engine is a good unit ide be happy with that but like you said Toby was a better one out of the two but I'm sure you will work your magic great video 👍
Oh well, at least you've still got an R8! Put yourself through the mill a bit though eh? You'd have had to sort that rot out on TC anyway - to quote Neil Young again Rust Never Sleeps!
Honestly gutted for you ! 💔😢 But you’ve done the right thing mate! 🫂 Money unfortunately is important to survive in this day & age! 😊 Lovely trade in tho ! Can’t beat an automatic Rover 🤩 Is that Night fire red) ? 🤔💭 Good Bye Toby Charles you will be missed greatly!💚
Business is business 💵, understand the doubt about selling, but……. Another will need rescuing ? How about a video with you’re self and Allegro man sorting out you’re MGF ? Summer is around the corner ? Sort it’s dented Butt ! And soggy suspension ! Some good content and laughs we could have while you fix it 😂👍🏻
That's a shame as to me it's the better rover as i had a 216 my self in Worcester a year ago some body had one same colour but don't no wat engine it was for £800 its not that one is it but i know its hard but you need the money and you got other cars but it is a rare one now
I feel for you over this but needs must I guess. The only thing is, if you a short of funds again you'll be back to where you started but with maybe nothing to sell. Sorry but your a braver man than me.
The other not to bad only thing it's a automatic gearbox but honda engine ok it's a low spec but be a cheap run around and being a estate filla the hole in the boot if you don't weld your self bet you got the bits to make it better and alloys to put on it main thing it's honda engine like I used to had you got another car and cash ok not as much but good mate
Will ya have yourself another tourer? Ah, you will. Go on. Go on. Go on. Go on...
Shame to see TC go. I enjoyed the time I spent with him - all 10 minutes of it. 😅
Family come first cars don’t pay the bills paul right decision mate 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Ohh a full John Major speck tourer,
quintessential mid 90s rover aspiration.
Yes! 😅😅
It's the time of the year it seems!
Keep the faith
Sad news! However as is often the case you might grow to love Mrs Doyle, AHH go on!

Love 420 Gsi Tourer my brother has one in LVD Rover charcoal with turbo motor in it! Long over due being finished and put on the road!

Wonderful. Thank you, James 😊
You truly came over as sad at the loss of this car cin up and onwards my good fellow
Sad times but unfortunately these things happen it's what you have To do keep your head above water I fully understand I was in the same position with Roger the Rover the 800 when I sold him 😊
Mrs Doyle has a working clack, nice👌
Wow! Amazing selling the manual estate and receiving an automatic one , brilliant
Goodbye Toby Charles, welcome Mrs Doyle!
TC woukd have found a way to annoy you in the end, so its a good thing...

I totally understand your reasoning,

Mans got to do what a man's got to do sir 👏 needs must 😢
Definitely best of both worlds there. Managed to get some financial relief and still have an R8!
I didn’t realise it had still been for sale after one of your episodes when you said TC would be being kept. I’d certainly would have definitely made you an offer ££££. It’s nice to see you’re keep it though 😊
Beautiful looking car!
Why not do some merchandise Paul, t shirts and that?
I had a 418HAD Toured in Nightfire 20 years ago Paul.Economical but as slow as a tractor! Hah

tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all, also a pint or thee may help
three even
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Just noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, even I nearly cried when toby Charles drove away 😢
Id take the opportunity to fix up a few bits and perhaps move mrs doyle on also to put towards the zs. This can all be contemplated while your out driving the f of course
You did seem genuinely sad, I quite like the red one but I personally prefer poverty spec cars…
Go on go on go on go on!

Mrs Doyle 👍,

Sell TC and keep the channel growing - more adventures ahead
I kinda like rover cars but never seen this model before as it unusual
Oh well, at least you've still got an R8! Put yourself through the mill a bit though eh? You'd have had to sort that rot out on TC anyway - to quote Neil Young again Rust Never Sleeps!
Honestly gutted for you ! 💔😢
But you’ve done the right thing mate! 🫂

Lovely trade in tho ! Can’t beat an automatic Rover 🤩
Is that Night fire red) ? 🤔💭

Is that a Rover Civic Aerodeck, you've got there Father.?
The red tourer looks more like a Garry
To move forward and keep afloat you have to sell something at least you can say you have owned one
