Inspector Morose Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 [url=http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-P6-Diesel-Convertible-Rover-2200-TC-convertedHmm. The convertible and cosmetic "enhancements" are undoable leaving an pretty cheap to run everyday classic. If only there wasn't another more wonderfully practical diesel machine available at the moment.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 These must be getting quite uncommon now. Early Vectra B with the 1686cc Isuzu TD lump.

Not a bad thing to drive actually (although mine was a later car with a 1500 pre-Xflow rather than the earlier unobtainium 1340). Mechanical bits are easy to get, being mostly Cortina, but trim is a real pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 2.5 Peugeot, available in both turbo and na. Transit engine was later, think badge changed to LDV at same time. Incorrect. Peugeot engines lasted beyond the LDV change, and were still under the bonnet when the 400 became the Convoy. After a few years, the Tranny engines took over. I much prefer the old Peugeot slogger.

wuvvum Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I prefer the Peugeot engine in some ways - it's simpler, and it has preheat so a lot easier to start on a cold day. It is diabolically sluggish though - even the TD version is far from quick. I timed my turbo'd 400 from 0-60 once - it took 27 seconds. Compare that to the smiley Transit 190 TD I owned at the same time, which would do it in 18.5. My non-turbo Pug-engined Convoy took 36.5 - the third slowest 0-60 run of any vehicle I've owned, after the Ligier Ambra and the Dodge 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I thought my turbo 400 Beavertail wasn't bad. Mind you, 27 secs is about the same as the 2CV, so I guess I was used to it. Anyway. My watch list currently has these on it.
