So I'm looking at Rovers once again. They did them in some really great colours, especially the 25, with it's various Blues, Green, Gold and dark Red. With this pallette why would anyone order one in Silver?

-Can't see anyone paying that kind of money but that is a fantastic colour.

 

I fancy something larger than a 25. Luckily most of the colours also found their way into the 45 range;

-I won't be rushing out for this particular example but a gold 4-door v6 sounds like a great idea.

 

I'm guessing 45s were either a bit shit or just ignored due to HGF and the general malaise around MG Rover toward the end? Either way there are loads of really nice looking, low mileage & long MOT examples about.

And here's a great looking 75 Tourer. 'Wonder if he could be knocked down to a grand?

Enticingly cheap Jag. A proper one, too, not a Mondeo in drag.

OK, so it's not eBay, but this needs to be seen to avoid such a thing ever happening again.

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh though, perhaps the interior's better.

Oh. Maybe not then.

Long test too, even if the list of advisories is impressive.
