Tomcat was the name for the coupe turbo Hence "Rover Tomcat Turbo" all the other were just called the coupe,

nice car by the way i think they look cool with the straights on these, wish i still had my turbo one sometimes, but got into too much trouble with it lol

Iv had one of these, a 220 turbo, the oil return pipe from the turbo used to leak and everytime i booted it would leave oil smoke inside and behind, the only prob i had with it was the chassis twisted under the torque of the engine and ripped it apart from the bulk head to the end of the chassis leg, had it welded up, i loved it tho, i used to wind so many cars up with it when out and about as it was 200+bhp, then i got myself a 420gsi turbo, a light blue colour one that had been heavily modded and been on ebay a hundred times, i shouldnt of bought it as it caused no end of trouble, but i learnt from my mistakes

Anyway heres a pic of my old one, i sold it to a 19yr old lad for silly money, and it lasted 2 months before it ended up backwards into a tree god damm i loved that car.

One of the few cars that look stunning standard, no need for doing up apart from maybe wheels and lowering slightly. Very nice.

When I saw it on Sunday it's back on it's standard and normal ride height. MG wheels definately going on and definately going to lower it, looks so much better. Apart from that, not really going to touch it looks wise....

Saying that I can see me having it for quite a while and then next year keeping it and getting a fun weekend car like an Elise - Will be fitting the leather seats (which have now turned up) and my bluetooth kit and head unit...for starters
