My car was registered 8th September 99 on a V plate by Averills of Diss (Rover main dealer) and was used by the head sales director (so I was told by the previous owner) until he bought it direct from them. Although it is a "Club" spec car, it has lots of "goodies" including Walnut steering wheel, gear lever, Rover logo mats, etc. It still has the original exhaust from the front to the rear box (replaced a couple of years ago), original drop links and track rod ends. I previously had an 05 1.8 Connoisseur manual and the difference between the early and late cars is very obvious when you have driven both. (I prefer the early ones!).
