 I do wonder if the 1.8T suits a Rover though. No doubt better than the NA, and probably better numbers than the 2.0, but maybe the 2.0 "feels" more Rover?

Personally I thought the 1.8T suited the 75 surprisingly well.  The 2.0 V6 sounds nicer, but you have to rev the knackers off it to get it to move, which is very uncouth.  The Turbokettle is a lot torquier.

Edit:  The obvious answer is to go for the 2.5 V6 - all the advantages of the 2.0 (and similar fuel consumption) but avoids the underpowered feel.

Phwaaar!  Just right, brown Chatsworth interior, mismatched door, very solid and original, not too perfect, I would just sort the minor rust issues and use as is, looks good with the brake dust on the front wheels, like it’s been up and down the motorway all day    ,like they used to ?

That's lovely but I'd be worried what's under the wob surrounding the windscreen!

I can answer that: it’ll be rust.

Just like George at Soup Classic Motoring found in his Cortina 80:

I assumed the Turbo was the "busier" of the two!

I bet there are not many of these kicking around.

Yea, my neighbor had one. It's the only one I'd ever seen, I'd assumed it was a jap import. 

I'd suspect like most Suzuki's of that age you'd want to be careful about rot.

No, that was the Xedos 9.  I wouldn't mind trying a Xedos 6, but can't take on any more non-MOT'd cars at the moment.

I kind of forgot the porsche 968 even exists.. Was it any more than a warmed up 944? It  was built in the dark days of Porsche when they nearly went tits up in the early 1990s so I imagine

the 968 was an attempt to knock out a new model on the cheap.

They're not cheap anyway, this one is an auto with 195,000 miles on it and is the best part of 8 grand

The best car I ever owned by a mile (mine was manual, I hasten to add). The most reliable car I’ve ever owned and the most fun to drive, too, and I tripled my money when I sold it.

 Hillman Hunter GT

That doesn’t look like a real GT from the dashboard. Hillman GT’s had a strip speedo and pod revcounter like a Mk 1 Escort Sport. When it  became the Hillman Hunter GT, I thought it got the same dash as the GLS, ie deep set speedo and tacho, with4 gauges in the centre .  This seems to be a DL or GL.

Wheres @PaykanHunter when you need him?
