I sold my 2005 Conny SE manual to get a 1999 V6 Club. Not as many toys but it has an auto box which is better for my dodgy knees and hip. The carpets are better and it seems quieter on the road. I haven't noticed a difference in handling but I drive like the old fa*t that I am!
I prefer the look of the Mk 1 (proper old Rover !).
