However a quite ride is important to me. Is the road noise quite noticeable Keith?




Agreed. I had my eye on them when I first brought my 75. But they're next to impossible to find in NZ & the cost of shipping them from England is very expensive.

I've got Meteors on my facelift and they look great. I think they suit the facelift more than previous models. Our other car has unions, which I must admit now look a bit boring. I concur with the comments about road noise, the union equipped car has less. However, what are we comparing against? Both Rover's are quiet compared to so many other cars. Where can I see a photo of the serpent? I don't know which wheel that is.
