Hello Mick and .

Here's some bedtime reading for you; an ultimate buyers' guide compiled by a member.

As far as V6 choice is concerned, it's largely a case of aesthetics. The original concept was classical and graceful with some unusual paint (Primrose yellow, Atlantic blue, Dorchester red) and optional trim colours (blue, green or aubergine) in the early years.
If you prefer a more contemporary look, consider the facelift cars.

As far as performance, handling and ride quality are concerned there's something for everyone within the Rover and MG marques.
Most V6s are 2.5 litres but a 2.0 litre version was produced in the early years which, by all accounts, is for those who like revvy engines!

The club traditionally holds an annual meeting and, if this event returns this year, that would be the perfect place to view the wide variety of cars on offer and talk to the owners.
