Something ultra rare!

In fact, I gather only about 80-odd were made, because I just saw one of THESE!

I think I once saw one at a car show, but definitely the first time I'd seen one on the road .

ETA:

Incase anyone asks, that's not the one I saw, just the best photo I could find online of one.

ultra rare but also ultra crap

Looks aren't to everyones taste I'll admit, I may be mistaken, but I understood it was actually meant to be suprisingly good?

Think it was a bit low tech. An m3 at the time was more comfortable, better looking, faster on track and half the price.

Another reason why Rover went bust.

I always liked them. I'd certainly love to go for a blast in one! There's a dark red one which I've seen in Birmingham a couple of times - didn't realise there were as few as 80 around!

as Wopps says, performance was average using old Ford V8's but mainly it was hideously fugly and hopelessly overpriced

...think Rowan Atkinson bought one?

That's right mr bean had a British racing green example. Used to be part of the ecoi fast fleet.

There was one sat at Janspeed in Salisbury when we had a TsN rolling road day there a few years ago (2006?) - it was one of MGs test mules and it was up there for keeps as MG had gone bust.

Weirdly I spotted one when I was driving out of Poole last week

I remember the Janspeed one.

But if he'd bought one of those, we wouldn't be having this interesting discussion :D.

But just think of the discussion we would be having if it was a good car!
