Presumably, aside from the lashings of chrome and wood on the Rover, the Concerto 1.6 and 216 are more or less the same car?  If that's the case, it's surprising the Honda is a rare sight now.

 

We'll have to agree to disagree on the autobox, I don't mind one in a big rented barge when I'm in the USA but over here I like to select my own cogs!  That one's a bit broken anyway.  That said, given that the Honda 1.6 is supposed to be a bit under-geared and buzzy at motorway speeds, I wonder if the auto is better in that respect?

I'm SERIOUSLY tempted by this, how bad is 255k on a 1.9 XUD?  Looks like it's been loved.

 

Edit: Sod it, emailed them about it anyway.

 

 

I had an SRDT  "L" reg from new. Religiously serviced every 6K miles as per, had it for 10 years and did 385,000 miles in it. Never had any problem with the engine, it was still doing 55mpg when I part exd it. As long as it`s been serviced according to the manufacturer`s recommendations, I think they`d last forever.

Thanks, that's good to know.  I see it's been  a Cat C at some point in its life, will check to see what my insurance company says about that.

'full history with ALL of its original books and service book'

 

Talking of books, have you read the one about the invisible dog? It's impossible to put down.

Pretty much, apart from that the Rover has a suspension that doesn't knock your fillings out on a British motorway.

I've asked a quick q about this in Louise's thread about importing cars, but can anyone shed any light on what's involved registering this in the UK as it's all ready here? Will there be an issue with NOVA as you don't know when it was brought over?
