I'd a red one of those, great going thing, factory strut braces front and rear in them too. RBZ 9899. Seems like it's dead now.
Almost owned one myself around 2009 I'd say. By the time is got to Newcastle a few lads had just beat me to it, so just left. Knew of they didn't take it there'd be something wrong

Rover's!
There is a ropey looking, but fairly solid MG ZT190 that lives in Finaghy. I was going to buy it for the princely sum of £450 but Hughes were being pissy because it was a CAT S
Can you pm me more details mate. I want a 190 track car and that sounds perfect.

A mate had a 360 briefly in the late 80's. I think it snapped it's cambelt after a week of his driving. Quite a ponderous thing in the handling department, the brake department appeared to be on strike, at least relative to the abuse he was giving it lol. That looks like it has led a life, love the racey 345 graphics over beige though. a clio 172 / 182 engine can apparently be fitted to these quite straightforwardly too. Has a transaxle gearbox iirc. The 2 door ones look so much better though.

I would spy both the Lada & the Volvo regularly, I think that Volvo has replaced or joined a grey one that used too sit where that beige one is now!

Don't think it chum was a fella dropped it of to work
Ah I see, could have sworn it was the same one.

A lady driving one couldn't get it started in the petrol station at Sainsburys at Holywood exchange earlier this year. I tried to help without results, I think it was an immobiliser issue.
