I love the car in white what a great example

How comes they didn't pick up a following when there were more around in the 90's

. I was not a Rover fan back then (sorry it was Vauxhalls, Fords and Japanese sports cars

) but these cars always looked good on the roads so I don't quite understand why they have not got a larger following.

Nice install as well very neat and tidy. Hopefully you wont be following the SATNAV from that position though

I would like to learn more about these coupes is there a decent Forum for them

They did but at 20K plus for some models they were fairly expensive for that time,that and they had a limited production run.

There's one on the forecourt of a garage near me, been there a while. Strange colour scheme, sort of metallic mid blue but a lighter blue on all the lower edges of the panels

I stopped to have a look at it one day, the reason for the lighter blue at the bottom edge of the panels appeared to be to hide the rust! Err . . . . no!
