This car is based on a Honda type r chassis with fully independent suspension making it a superb handling car like the integra type R, and the engine is a BMW built kv6
There is an element of true in the blurb, the KV6 did have some input from BMW not a lot, it is a true Rover engine, but the only BMW bit on it is the inlet plenum I think, thats why we all have problems with the inlet manifolds!!
As for the chassis well NOT really a Type R chassis is it, just an old Honda Civic/Domini!!

Thats correct Blair, all the facelifts(Mk2's) came with a mixture French (Valeo), German (BMW) and Japanese (Honda) switchgear, wire harness's etc, BMW subcontracted LEONI to make all the harness for Rover when they were in charge, and this followed onto all the facelift models too, after BMW sold Rover to those 4 idiots.
