From the land of the rising sun....

Poo your pants did you?

No, but I may have raised an eyebrow.

No, but I may have raised an eyebrow.

I can imagine you sitting there...bouncing around...completely straight face and just the one eyebrow slowly raising

Me too based on experience

Most cars out there will have been polished at some point in their lives I would guess. I'm struggling to see your point.

If you're going to spend a long time polishing a turd, you might as well do it right.

Thats got to be one of the better Rovers still on the road in the world
however
I find this more impressive!

You can still see the remnants of the blue t-cut they used .....

To be fair, it does look immaculate. Although, I think I'd rather the Z car you can see in the reflection in the 2nd pic down

150 on a bumpy A road?

 

[Mark A]

Wow they scrub up pretty well.

150 on a bumpy A road?

I was a passenger guv! I've been down the same road in a 350bhp Sierra Cosworth and in a Mk5 Golf GTI 30th Anniversary all at similar speeds, all felt very different I can tell you.

Miss my first post, these have gone for 3k on ebay.

And Howard, they are a 150mph car, not that i would like to try it!

It's very very interesting . Well, I saw 143mph GPS but never 150.

Hmmm is that partly a Toyota ? Part of the dash, the speedo and rev counter, mileage counter etc looks exactly (100%) the same as in an E10 Corolla ?

Edit:
Hmmm nvm...

 

[Berger]

Nice looking Grey one on there now, did only the FDH come with aircon?

No, aircon was optional on all cars, just the majority of the FDH cars had it as it is rumoured/believed that they were all destined for Japanese export and had all the options (full leather, aircon).

The dash is Honda made.

No, it was designed in collaboration with Honda, not Toyota

Friend used to have one of these with 270bhp at the wheel - then he sold it and got a proper car - RX7.

I don't see how anyone can get excited about a rover shed, seems ludicrous, it's an old box rover.

Ignore them Si, don't take the bait.

It's a Rover, so therefore it must be absolutely rubbish.
