Default Rover coupe's??

Ok, I know they are shit , but how much is a decent 2.0 non turbo rover tomcat coupe worth? I have been offered one for free that has cooked its head gasket, just wondering if its worth the hassle of a 200 mile round trip with a trailer and doing the head gasket? or Is it going to cost me more in fuel and parts than the cars worth?

Not worth much anymore tbh not even in turbo forum. Best looking of the breed and imo the coupe still looks pretty good.

Dont forget in turbo form the engine aint done bad down the strip in last 5years at TOTB/USC for that matter.

Get the 216 Coupe. Much more reliable for a daily car. And as they're based on the Honda D16 engine, turbo'ing them isn't a difficult job.

But, don't do that

As a daily drive stick with the 216 coupe, just sort the suspension and brakes.

You have not said what engine is in it mate if T series[2ltr] just add a Kilinger head gasket when do head. If its a K series just add the new freelander head gasket and metal dowels.

They not a bad car and in nasp forum pretty reliable. Aslong as nothing else wrong with and can be arsed to pick it up i say make a good winter hack.

*edit* just seen you say its 2ltr so defo T series bud.
