There’s a chap in a night fire red one every Sunday at Stonham Barns car boot (Suffolk).

Always thought the styling was a bit bland so can't say as I have seen one recently but it's the sort of car that slips past unnoticed.

One here for sale with low mileage, i also never really took to them, but they seem a nice prospect maybe my age now

Nothing wrong with the 600, but the most anonymous Rover ever made in my humble opinion. They are still around, but go unnoticed.

Had a 600, liked it but I was seduced when the mechanic at my local garage was selling his 3litre Omega Elite.

There is a 623GSi still around my area, I see it parked in the town quite often, looks like a British racing green colour or similar, well looked after and obviously still well used, they were a very nice car to drive and ride in, my old accountant had one also.

Saw a nice white one parked in Prudhoe train station car park , it did look smart , very underrated cars , the diesels are a great car

Back in the 90s as an engine tester at Rover I managed to get a 600 for 3 months on test (had to pay company car tax on it as I recall). It was a pre-production model with the L series diesel engine about 6 months before their release for sale. I loved it and would love to get one now. I was getting about 55 to 60 mpg on my trip from Bromsgrove to Gaydon every day. A few people would take a second glance when filling at diesel pumps or when hearing the engine noise as they had not been released at that point.
