Really interesting thread that I have not read before so thanyou all for posting

What a senseless waste of cars when MGR went scat.

Is that Polish car worth saving

This car is 500km away from where i live. Front bumper looks fine (easy fix with heating),it needs a new hood, wing and a headlight. I have few stripped mk1 75s, so other parts i have. But i'm not sure is it worth something or not?

Financially it's probably worth the asking price..... But! as to its historical worth in the history of MGR I'd suggest it's very important.

I agree. Must be one of the very last, and an indication of where MGR were going had they stayed in business.

Well, seller doesn't answer to my emails. I need to call him, but i don't know polish language.

What do you think, is the power output of this engine? Looks like a 1.9 110kw engine, not 85kw?

They had various tunes depending what car they were fitted to to. Vauxhall had 120PS and 150PS with the different manifold, Fiat had them at 85PS, 100PS I believe? And Alfa Romeo had them at 150PS?

It looks as though it's already had work though. Passenger front wing is the wrong shade of red and the wheel looks pushed back in the arch.

I really like the 45 tourer, is there any chance you can change the front end of the Honda equivalent to the rover 45s front end?

This is what it's based on isn't it?
