I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

I loved the two that I had. One didn’t go for a drive, one went motoring.

Skinflint me would bite if it carries on falling and goes below 2k. Least desirable engine, nicked plate (in 2007) and not everyone's first choice of classic so might well do.
Also a bit of a bellwether for this type & age of classic car and the current market conditions.

Could go vinyl. Yes I know that's sacrilege...

Or just use as just a cheap classic, maybe patching the seat up as a survivor car.

The 4cyl is a let down and why it'd have to be cheap for me to bite. Also why no one else has likely bitten.

(I wonder how well my 1.8t Audi TT engine would fit in :lol: )

Don’t spend a penny on it. It’s fine as it is. Basic mechanical/reliability stuff only.

P4 numbers are all roughly correspondent to BHP, taking over from the RAC hp rating of previous Rovers - 12/14 etc.

My 110-owning friend used to say it was MPH but whilst that may be partially true it wasn't Solihull's intent....
