Morgan 46 Report post Posted January 14, 2012 I've had some lovely Rovers. No less than FIVE Rover 213s, of various models (S, SE, SX), an 800 Vitesse (hatch), an 827 SLi (saloon), oh and a Maestro 1.3 HLE that I'd rather not talk about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex SBY 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2012 I've had one or two Rovers, too. Nice (and indeed reassuring) to see there is someone else who is also "infamous" on certain (albeit different) fora... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex SBY 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2012 I don't see the name "800" as a model number. More of a target for how many to own... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morgan 46 Report post Posted January 19, 2012 The best ZR you can get is a ZS For once, Sparky's NOT being a tool. I know, I was shocked too. He's absolutely right about the ZS. It's a superior car to the slightly unresolved ZR. And the boot on the hatchback version is MUCH bigger than the pathetic offering in the 25-based ZR.

And, as it's the facelift model, it looks a bit like an MG XPower SV... If you squint. 177bhp's not to be sniffed at in a car that weighs little more than a box of tissues, either.
