ZS ownership may soon be over!!!!!!
Just won myself a Rover 220 turbo coupe on eBay!
I've had a couple of 216 coupes a few years back and have always fancied a turbo version and this one looked good, was cheap enough and is fairly local for a change so took a punt on it! Once I get it home will get it all checked over to see if alls well then once im sure it is then it'll be time for the ZS to go! Brett |
Always wanted a 220 turbo :)

Watch his face drop :-D he thort i had a scooby lump under there and was major major gutted!!

Not sure it will be getting an engine spec like yours for a long while yet though!! Brett |
Lol it was either house or car and my heart won over my head :-) lol little by little man and dont scrimp where it matters man :-)
|
Yeah I already have the house and bills so will take a while longer!:)
I think I'll be concentrating on getting the car in tip top condition first but with basic engine mods then maybe think about building a new engine in the garage over time! Brett |
You could always T16 the 180 so you get the more powerful engine in the better handling car.

And handling can be improved! If it turns out to be a dog a may consider it but that would be a last resort! Brett |
I used to fancy a tomcat but TBH I feel they look a little dated now and I never like the look of modern cars when they are modern!
|
Good luck with the Tomcat Turbo Brett, I`ve always liked those myself, sadly many of them get messed about with & then ragged to high heaven, hopefully yours will be a good example! :)
|
Liked them since I had a 214SEi. Good luck with it - get some pics up.
|
I'll get some pics up once I've picked it up!

Well I ended up not actually getting the coupe as it turned out the ebay listing wasn't quite acurate so I pulled out!
Been looking for something else but nothing has really caught my eye so ZS is still being used! Brett |

Well it was an FDH model which were a batch of cars originally shipped to Japan then returned for various reasons. These cars had air-con as standard but the coupe in question had had this removed at some point but was still in the listing and a big reason I originally went for the car!

Ahhh ok , thanks for the heads up (Y)
