    Fast Old Mans Car/Sleeper

    Did you ever like these back in the day?
    I always thought they looked nice and this one is in great condition in one of the best colours. Always liked the Sleeper status of these as everyone knew about the 220Gsi's and Coupes but less so for the 400.

    think 0-60 was around 6.3 top whack 150 and 50-70 time in 5th was extremely good even by todays 250-300bhp hot hatch standards - something like 5.6s

    Shape hasnt aged at all well but still nice to see one again......

    Haha! I actually looked at the coupe version before I bought the GT. In my defense I was lookin at every turbo I could possibly afford to insure.

    Then I realised it was a Rover and then I realised I wasn't 60, and then all was good again
