Fair enough the depreciation is huge on these, but given that is cost £30k new, this has done most it's depreciating already.

Oh yeah I realize it's still a Rover, but a bloody good one!

There plenty on autotrader.

Nice cars I drove one when they came out, think they are a tad heavy for only 260bhp though.

Still one or two new unregistered 260 saloons around the £20K mark

They weren't quite THAT cheap, but I saw a Ford dealer in Berkshire pushing out the 75 saloon V8 for £15995 new which is still a huge saving.

If you don't mind the fuel costs I'd say they were a good buy.

They are certainly well built and a decent drive.

Yep they were/are but badly need more horses, never understood why Rover went for the lamest engine tune they could buy
