Rover 45 V6 breaking on eBay
I saw this on eBay - it looks like a lovely car from the photos.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133897664871 There aren't many around now, so seems such a shame to break it. |

If this is the car that is being broken the last MOT flagged up corrosion underneath.

The original protection would become brittle and be bombarded with stone chips. No corrosion one year and then loads the next. Sent from my POT-LX1 using Tapatalk

That looks a car well worth saving.

[QUOTE=victorgte;2903640]They drive really well even as a 1.8 auto. Dated design but great to drive.
/QUOTE] Couldn't agree more. Great F1 autobox if driven manually. I have always had one in the fleet since 2007, and am on my 4th. |

A friend has a 45 V6 identical to this one being broken. It is an absolute delight to drive, if ridiculously thirsty.
