I want to hear about the ownership experience without actually having to do any work. No need to force us on it, Consider it done!

The 'i' didn't have wood in the doors, alloy wheels or electric windows in the rear. The 'Si' (as per the advert) doesn't have wood on the dash passenger side because it has an airbag instead. Ah, I feel I need to wade in and add some geekery here. Wot Austin-Rover says is certainly true of the Mk1s; Base, "i" and "e" were as described, right down to having manual door mirrors. The Mk2 Si added alloy wheels and a CD autochanger over base i. By that time the entire range had Climate, leccy windahs all round etc, but not even the Sterling or Vitesse had a fuel computer any more. All models had bits of wood in all the usual places, but it is a huge shame that the wood-garnished passenger-side shelf mantlepiece disappeared across the range when the passenger airbag disappeared, though. I'll go away now. AnnoyingPentium, Yoss and lesapandre 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was no longer worth Rover offering two different systems by that stage. Essentially they were making one core model, just bolting extra bits in depending on spec. So, while the Sterling had electric seats, they were just bolt-in items with the controls on the side, rather than in the centre console with bespoke switchgear like in the Mk1. The beep is fantastic, though! And I love the tiny orange-lit LCD readout. Skcat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I was too find a sterling interior, their is a strong chance of their being the loom for the electric seats under the carpet? If so that would be cool, it's just a shame the four cylinder models never seemed to come with cruise control but I heard you can fit a setup from a 220/420!
