Is it a polo rebadged or an audi50? 

I must say that's how I like to see cars modified. Subtle and mental at the same time..

Advert is proper shit though.

I don't think I've ever seen one of these in real life. It's rusts AF obviously

That moment when one of your absolute dream cars pops up

Image 1 - Subaru Leone Coupe 1.8 4WD Turbo, EA82 engine, Not Impreza WRX, Rare!

Then realise you don't like the A-pillars to come with "brown seasoning" 

The only other one I have seen for sale was one that went through Mathewson's auctions at the end of 2019. It was love at first sight as I hadn't known they existed before and I love the idea of performance cars that weren't very good, as I still like to enjoy them

Saab local to me is making my Spidey sense tingle, it may be worth saving and it's nicely bASe. Note 'interior environment ceiling enhancement'.

I think that was owned by @Supernaut of this parish unit recently.

Yup.

It never switched its headlights on by itself when I had it!

Neither was the driver's door trim loose, either. I refitted it properly after repairing the external handle.

 

No mention of the dodgy clutch either, and they want how much for it?!

End price was £820 which seems high to me. Was it you? Please say you got it

My mate's dad had one that looked identical to that, brand new. IIRC it had factory sat nav, which was a Becker head unit which shouted instructions but didn't display anything.

 

I just imagined Rover halting the production line for a Brummie with a hangover to scotchlock a head unit in because it wasn't plug and play on the loom

Crikey. I don't think I have ever seen an interior of these before. Looks like the budget for that was about 80p.

Must have spent all the rest on the pointy facelift.

The other 20p you mean?

There were two levels of sat nav available on the 75 - the cheaper one just shouted directions at you, the posh one (like wot I've got) had a central screen with a map.  Not really room for a double din screen in the 45 dash though.

I've heard it said that the 25/45/75 facelifts were massive cost reduction operations, for obvious reasons. Not sure any of them came out looking better than before. And I imagine some serious corners were cut to 'gedditdone'.

Still, I hear the directors did well out of it, so Rover's demise wasn't all bad news.
