That was what we loved as kids. The Rover had electric windows, central locking and a sunroof! Oh and a working radio cassette.

 

Her previous car was an 81 Accord. My god that car was cool! Chrome bumper bars, beauty rings.  :wub:  Would love to own that now

We even bought another 216se that had had a snall front end bump for £30 complete and running with MOT just for a couple of parts we needed because it was cheaper to do that than buy the parts on their own.

Happy days

I loved my P6 3500 Auto which I bought 3 days after my son was born (he's 41 now!). I loved my 214Si rally car, but came to hate my 75 1.8 Turbo as it was so unreliable. My old company's SD1's (I never had one luckily as I had BMW's) were real junk!

That car is awesome, I read the build over on MG-Rover.org.

 

I have been looking around and there seem to be quite a few ZTs for very little at the moment, and I am watching a couple on eBay at the moment (shah....don't tell the missus!)

He's bringing it up to POL this year too and doing the Cowley Convoy. Should get a nice little convoy of us coming up from Basingstoke to Cowley :)
