I had one as a demo when I worked for Austin Rover in the late 80's and it sounds like you weren't trying hard enough!

I have had 3 of these beasties. Paid no more than £2k at the time. Wish I kept them now looking at the silly prices they are going for.

They must be a rare little car, as I've been wracking my brain and I can't come up with another car where the engine had both push rods AND a Turbo!

So, did you get a quote?

MangoMan · 25th December 2013, 05:13

So, how were the quotes.?

Quotes ranged from circia £318 to £390 ish. Didn't go in the end as too short time scale to do it & the guy removed the car from sale. He said he is going to do the little jobs then MOT it & possibly re advertise it around April. I have asked him for 1st refusal thought he said he had been inundated weth calls etc so I suspect that will be an excuse to put up the price.
