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!

Thanks for that and I'm looking forward to experiencing a turbo car (well petrol turbo anyway) and fiddling to get a bit more power!

Not sure it will be getting an engine spec like yours for a long while yet though!!
