Post by southside »

Just wondered. If you own one or know someone that owns one add your name to the list. Just wanted to see how many of the 250 made are owned by enthusiasts.

Are there really that few? I knew they weren't too common, but had no idea there were so little of them!

My understanding is that although 500 were made many of them were Rover fleet cars, indeed mine was. My other one was exported to germany and re-imported later.

If you have the original service book it will say it was first registered to rover vehicle services or something like that.

Does anyone know the whereabouts of L795 HOV. It's a BRG 420 Turbo that I owned from April 1996 to about June 2005. I would love to know if this car is still around.

He used to own it. I think he got rid when the gearbox broke.

He has a silver one now.
