My new car!

[_Batty_]

Yes its a Rover.
a 216 Si! auto.
registered 1998 and has done a whole 9600 miles.

i have no idea what the 'S' stands for, but it certainly isn't sport!
Should at least keep us mobile until our insurance sorts the Ka out
sorry for boring you

under 10k miles on an R reg? Blimey, thats bloody good! (unless im missing a zero from the end somewhere!)

[Maty]

Feris Bueller must have had his hands on that!

[Pow!]

Is that a back street garage "totally legitimate" mileage?

[adam85]

7k redline ! V-tec just kicked in yo!

ETA: Tell her to keep this one the right way up

This might be just a little bit nerdy, but I think the Auto 216s had the Honda D-series engine long after the manuals swapped to the 1.6 K series. Is that right? If so it's a cracking little engine, same as non-VTEC CRX IIRC.

This is the same one from a thread on GG a few days ago, isnt it?

Good find Matt. Glad you're mobile again.

A carefully placed screw head under the final letter of the number plate will give you your very own personalised "OAP" reg too!
