my next door neighbour has a k-reg rover 214i, it's the fucking bees. even though it's ancient, it keeps on going and going and going - it's never broken down in ages and it's still very comfortable. got 4 of us down to cornwall and back, with all our luggage and camping gear in. great car indeed.

the newer round ones suffer from the high quality of craftsmanship at longbridge that ensured rovers success!
actually they were crap, assembled by unionn led monkeys. One of my mates worked there as a cleaner for a summer job, £300-400 a week!
