Heck, there's a real Rover and two British Leyland products. But I am willing to acknowledge that some cars simply suck.And some stupid people love cars that suck, or at least that the majority of people thing suck.I see one of those guys in the mirror each morning, I think.

As they say, there's an ass for every seat 
With this thing, I'd source some of the UK lights and drop in a 4.2 out of a late model Rover for a bit of extra poke. They are cool looking. But I do not want to own one.

With this, I agree, lolol.

I've had three of them over the years. They make great donor cars for MGBs and TR7s. Think of them as a four door TR8. The ride quality and handling is awesome. The interior is a flimsy butt ugly combo of browns and black. Most of the comments I would get were "what kind of Alpha Romeo is that?" and "looks like a Chevy Citation". They were fantastic race cars back in the early 80's and put a serious hurting on the big BMWs of the time.

proof is in the odd number of Maserati Biturbo owners on here.
Some cars just exist to make DSM's and SHO's seem reliable

You could always donate the engine to an MGB, assuming it has the V8 lump.
front engined v8 sedan with a stick rear axle... just imagine the swapability you could do to something like that. It's almost begging for an LSx or a 5.0 with matching drivetrain
I hope it's not on poor taste to comment that Mike Hailwood was killed in one, March, 1981.
Wow, I just saw a very similar rover on a trailer on I-71 south of Cleveland.

That's right, 'Mike the Bike' died in one.
