So I've been carless for about 2 months now, running around in the Maestro.
Now I have a friend called Andy....who owns and runs a Rover 420T GSI chucking out about 250bhp...
He decided a few months ago 250 wasn't enough and decided to hit it with the modding stick again so bought a non runner Rover 216 coupe for peanuts, fixed it and has been smoking about in it for a couple of months. He's now decided he wants a faster daily run around whilst he is working on his 420T so has bought another 420T lol, again a non runner...so it's left the coupe spare.
I asked him how much for the coupe, we agreed a price, and I should be picking it up this side of christmas
Went to see it yesterday and I really like it! Have found a leather interior for it with recaro bolsters in good condition for peanuts (which is now on it's way to me), it has electric windows and a few others bits...and best of it, the Honda 1.6 engine so should be uber reliable which is exactly what I need right now
He's also fitted a Mongoose catback system so it sounds nice
Also has the T-Top sun roof which I think is very cool!
Anyway, here's a pic or 2 of it from my mates facebook, I'll post a couple more when I get it and give it a clean!
When I get it it won't have the MG wheels on it so I'll stick mine on, also I've read the rear suspension off my car and the front springs off my car will fit, lowering it and improving the handling a lot, but I need to double check on this.
Either way I'm pretty excited about it
My new car...
