doh


with all them issues of "slight scrapes/cracks" etc, it makes u wonder how poorly the car has been looked after... sounds like it's just been nailed by a chav (going by the way he types things, could be wrong)

Depends on the owner(s), but tbh most are taken care of yes, because they have a very loyal and loving fanbase.

However, the T-Series is in a far better position than most engines to take a bit of a battering.

Id be looking to test drive the car first though!

He's just worried about you being able to keep up with him in the Rover... if it really is pushing 150bhp, you would be a pretty good match lmao grin

Thats just to give you an idea of the power the Rover should be pushing btw; and if you wanted a Coupe anyway, then why not? Just need to ensure it is a goodun.

The V6 is 0-60 in around 7.5 seconds though, probably a 2.0 (dunno wot the 0-60 is on them).

Think the 220 at 130bhp is 8.2 seconds, at 150bhp, I rekon it would be pushing in the region of 7.6/7.7 0-60, I know at 190 though it would be 6.2 seconds, so I could be out a bit (in a good way hehe).

Yes, all Rover's are very comfy, and the seats and seating position is excellent in the Tomcats.

And comfort is important to me, hence I want a 75 haha!
