General Comments

I bought one of these gems a few years back from an auction as it was cheap and I needed something that could still overtake. This is the worse review you'll find on this car as I bought the worst example possible, it had two spoilers and 16 inch curbed up rims. I got it for next to nothing though so it's not so bad, after I had unmodified it, it turned out to be a pretty sweet car, I had a spare Honda CRX engine in my garage for spares (from a previous purchase). This is the same unit I think it's a "d-series" Honda 16v 1.6. I was impressed with my CRX so this was just a cheaper version. It went pretty well, surprised a few people given how cheap I got it. My mate went tool for the job!

Still one of the best cars Rover have made in recent years.. Which explains why there is no Rover anymore.
