when i said its only a rover - its the whole image associated it with it.
I have owned a couple rovers myself over the years, the best one being a 216 GTI, standard power 130bhp which is on par with standard RS turbos and still gave 50 miles to a fiver

Showing 174k and ran sweet as a nut.
Worst one was a 218 SD - fookin peice of ship

But i would not buy another rover again - they are too problematic.
A mate owns a ZT thing - green saloon with all the big spoilers - its a 51 plate and he has nothing but hassle from it since day 1
