just from the information here, i think this looks like a very attractive proposition in a baby-elise kind of way. anyone have any thoughts?

definately looks a lot like the strathcarron from the rear. I quite like it, should sell well depending on power source......
Rover 200 / 25 (The best ages of donors are referred to as ‘Bubble Type’)
Haynes 3399 manual for reference
Engine types 1.1, 1.4, 1.6 – ‘K’ series 16v 8v R65
1.8 16v Pg1 – available soon
2.0, 2.0 turbo – available
This car was on the Marlin stand at Stoneleigh and looked great. It was mobbed in crowds all day. I think with the car based on a cheap readily available single donor, the light weight and above all the looks, they are on to a winner.

I know everyone has opinions, but I couldn't believe how much they vary....my opinion....windscreen forward nice.....windscreen back awful....
Again I stress...IMO

Mikeylad, glad you enjoyed it.....it is a good forum, especially if you want to do it yourself for the least cost, even if you want something other than "seven" style (which I obviously did).....that forum and this one are by far my two favourite ones....it is very interesting though to compare views now and then..![](http://www.pistonheads.com/include/images/biggrin.gif)

It is but the basic engine is based on the old L-series from the montego, the M16 (it's naturally aspirated brother/sister (take your pick)) it the same engine with a twin cam 16valve head, the T-series has some minor modifications to turbocharge it, but it's still the same crappy old montego engine!

Ahh, never really been into the modern Rover engines, the A series was best by far
