After speaking to my cousin a bit about cars I have become strangely attracted to the idea of owning something a bit older than the average car.

More specifically I have been looking at Rovers....Rover Sd1 Vitesses. I just love the mean look they have plus the v8 engine as well as the idea of having a car to restore and work on.

Are these cars even any good (I know the police loved them)? Whats insurance like on them, I assume they would come under classic insurance and I may be able to get a limited mileage policy on it.
 
The handling is not too much of a problem since I already have another car, the gt bit is quite good - one of the reasons I was looking at them was because they are supposed to cruise quite well whereas my Coupe is far too cramped for that.

Its either that or a Dolomite Sprint, which has no structural rust but the head gaskets gone.
 
Its got rust all accross the roof and in the middle of some of the panels.

That ones my cousins, he got it a few years back and has spent a load of money on it, then the head gasket went on the way back from a classic car show.

He offered it to me for £500
 
Well thats what I thought he said, we were pelting down a mountain at the time :p

But he had all the structural areas sorted it was just body panel rust.
