Who Knew? Rover 45
Just been reading through this brochure for the "new" 45 If I knew how nice they were, may have had a look

Mechanically probably more reliable than the 75 with Honda under pining's , downside is the body not as heavy and not as as well rust protected as the 75
Otherwise drives and handles well |

My other car is 45 GTI (MG ZS), had her 19 years next month
Absolutely love her But then I love ZTT too, actually looking at another car now but would mean selling ZTT, not sure I can do it |

I've had several 45s, and all have proved reliable and better than the equivalent major manufacturers offerings. Latest is a 30,000 miles (limited Spirit edition) owned from new by the proverbial lady owner until last year when at the ripe old age of 100 she clipped the gatepost and decided to give up driving. The car is otherwise mint, and I don't know whether to have the bumper repaired or leave. It is only scratched, not dented or cracked. It has the stepspeed auto box which I am not keen on, BUT it also has the F1 6 speed tiptronic, which can show many a hot hatch a clean pair of heels! Great little cars.
