Something a bit different!

Came in against the 75, and I'm almost tempted to keep it, but needs must!

Now we've all heard the phrase rare kicked about but I honestly think this could be unique in the Rover world! It's a 1999 T reg 200 BRM! What's unique I hear you ask, well gone is the VVC lump, replaced by the 2.0 Tseries turbo lump

It's also been lowered, fitted with a stainless steel performance exhaust, and some other tasteful mods, and of course it has THAT interior! This car is rapid! Rolling roaded to show its putting out 200.7bhp and will quite easily show a clean pair of heels to most other hot hatches.

I realise this may not appeal to everyone's taste, but you never know! I'll let the pictures do the talking, and I'm after £2995 ono

What a weird looking car! What's a BRM anyway?
I suppose insurance on a heavily modded car like that will be a nightmare to obtain?

BRM aka British Racing Motors dating from 1945 and lasting into the late 70s, with some of their F1 cars being distinguished by the BRG paint, orange 'mouth' and red racing seat, hence the colour scheme of the 200 BRM

Getting insurance is not a problem, loads of companies do modified insurance, I use HIC and they're great, and my Tourer which had also had a turbo conversion, and that came in at a rather reasonable £400 fully comp
