the problem with silver is you can spend 4 hours waxing it and it looks the same as when you started.
i'm watching this silver one:

its had the timing belt done so its worth a bit more, but its the 190+ so tax is £400.

for years my old man had rovers/MG/austin and he never had a problem with any of them.
Bought a renault megane, and tis had more prblems than my stilo.
Screw the 75/ZT (or even ZT-T!) get a V8 SD1

to be honest there is only 1 reason i didnt buy it, someone stuck ZT badges on the dashboard.
i dont want to own a car that was previously owned by anyone who would do something like that.
maybe thats stupid, or maybe i saw the signs and made the right decision. either way its too late to wonder about so i'll get back in my alfa after work today and let her know that she's still my baby.

I owned an 1984 Austin (Rover) Maestro 1.6 HLS. It was the worst car I've ever owned as it spent most of its life being repaired. At 50K miles. I also had the mis-fortune to work on and drive Minis, Allegros and Marinas. However, they are somewhat of the older school Rover/ Austin/ BL era so not that representative of the more modern designs.
To be fair the 1990 onwards Rover 200 was a damn good car and won many awards. Then again, it was little more than a re-badged Honda
My mum has owned a rover 600 from brand new for 10 years. Its done 84k and she only just had it serviced for the first time this year because I recomended she have the cam belt done. Not a single fault for 10 years. Nothing falling off, not quality issues, no breakdowns, no rust, no horrendous engine failures of any kind etc.
Of course, she opted for the Honda engine at the dealership but still... The rest of the car is still in one piece and going bloody strong
If I recall correctly, the 600 model wasn't just the engine from Honda. It was the whole car? (Honda Accord?)
Or get that V8 MG saloon car they did before they went under? Converted to RWD and with a Mustang V8 under the bonnet. Now there's a drift machine for you :slayer:
the 600 was a honda based car but best of the lot was the rover T-series engined TI with torsen diff, mean machine 220bhp plus.. as with the tomcat 220 tubby,,
mg-zt is the best out of the lot for the zr/zs/zt/z-tt range, bmw did a good job shame british workforce and the phoenix 4 let it down...
wouldnt touch the k-series enigned ones as the car was far to heavy for it,, the KV6 lump is a good engine but is based on the 4cyl k-engine, dampliners and still known for head problems,.,, and cambelts are 600 quid pluss to have changed,,, best one out of the lot is the 135 cdti ,, or the cdti auto... mappable to 160-65 bhp.. and shed loads of tourque,,, bmw lump with cam chains which can see 200k miles without inspection, i was a rover/mg freak. and so is my dad... had 4 rovers on the drive at one time... 75/400 vvc convo/tomcat auto/and a zr... only the 75 left now..
