I'd love one of those.

I know its probably rubbish, and that one is a state. But for some reason, i love them.

What went wrong?

I love these too. Although a phase 1 cabriolet is the dream for me.

The 16v Chamade always looked good to me

There are not enough hours in the day for me to even begin to list and after a 12 month stint of ownership/suffering I was elated to see the back of the bloody thing

Something I haven't noticed before; there is a lot of shared DNA in the internal design of that with the 800, which had a lot of Rover input and the interior was totally bespoke vs the Honda Legend. I did some googling and it looks like the door cards and dash, while similar in overall shape etc, were quite different from Honda to Rover on all the "collaborative" cars.

For all much of what they did was rubbish Rover did make interiors a real cut above the mainstream stuff at the time.

There was a Xedos 9 with a V6 sold in the UK. Bigger than the Xedos 6. I suppose they were BMW 3/5 Series rivals.

I had a Xedos 6 and, other than being a bit prone to understeer when pushing on, it was a great thing. damned near silent when wafting, and made a nice v6 snarl when putting the boot in. I put about 60,000 miles on it (unsympathetically, as I was a young and foolish eejit at the time) and it never asked for more than new discs and pads and a bit of oil every few thousand miles.

Interior was the very best of velour and shiny plastic, but it wore well and was comfy. I’d have loved to give a Xedos 9 a go.

Oh, and most of the Xedos 6 parts were swappable with much cheaper v6 Mondeo parts Mazda quoted £99 for spark plug leads when Ford ones were £30...) - part of them trying to make it a “prestige” brand like Lexus was for Toyota. Most parts arrived in Ford boxes with.a Mazda sticker sticker over the blue oval...handy tip for anyone running one.

For those with huge balls and a desire to own one of the most unreliable pieces of st I've ever had the displeasure of owning (second only to a 996):

Renault 19s must be entirely unremarkable. I owned one for a year as a cheap daily. I remember it was that colour, and I remember after I sold it the police came to see me as it was immediately used in a hit and run and ram raid.

For a car I owned for a year its impressive that I can't recall a single other thing about it.

Not even when it broke down?

Ooh , it’s an Executive!
They really have disappeared considering the numbers they were sold in

They either seemed to be really quick ....or really slow depending on the individual engine

Love that. Definitely needs some bodywork though and you'd have to hope it isn't completely rotten underneath.

[W00DY]

White over blue with the 5 pot is a great combination. Refresh the black lower trims and fit some nicer wheels and it'd be a lovely summer cruiser.

[W00DY]

Don't think. Buy. It'll be up at a dealer sans-towbar and with a much higher price tag before you know it.

Thats a grey import the Turbo version was a hoot we had a doctor with one when I was a tech with the big H in the 80's

The Audi's nice, and there's a few on eBay etc at relatively good prices.

I noticed this too. Some small faults, but seems an honest ad. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-TT-Quattro-Low-Mil...

I'd be running a mile looking at the MOT history; plus it's got the pixel issue which make me also think that's probably the position the temperature gauge permanently resides.
