bob1179's  Rover  200  214  (1999)
Last updated: Monday 9th November
 

Bought for £3,500 in April 2004 at 32,720 miles.

This is the family hack, everybody uses it. A cracking little motor that has a revvy little 1.4 litre 'K' series, handles quite tidly and is actually fairly roomy.
Worth bugger all but cheap and cheerful
The head gasket went at 59k and I stripped the engine down to sort it out. Whilst the car was in bits I got a call to go abroad again so in the end, my little Rover went to the great scrap yard in the sky. I'll miss my little car but it had a good innings.
