Would love something like that but just zero use for it. If you think your FIL would like to know the rover went to an artist in the south that loves them, poor fella spent 1500 euro just to register it down there and will keep it going for a long time yet it seems as he planned to get her in even better shape.

This one was brown with cream leather. Looked like it was used daily, was stinking so definately wasnt a show queen

Funny i asked him a while back had he seen the 75 about the place. I also asked does he miss it and he just said 'nah' lol

I’d love one too. The £700 tax is a bit of a sickner as well.

Early ones should top out at under £400 if pre march 06, can’t see what month that one is. The fear of total loss is the killer for me.

The very one, looked absolutely mint - initially thought it was just a kit on an E30 but was LHD.

Don't think it had the BBS RS wheels like in your linked pics though, think it was just on standard wheels.

And that's just engine oil! What's it like on fuel?

most people don’t realise these are (to be a bit ignorant a 2 stoke engine) the blue one i had for a while had hot start probs until i started putting 0.5 ltr off engine oil in the fuel tank on fill ups

It would need to be a R3 for me. I’d swap the TT for one if the opportunity ever arose
