Excellent deal. Car needed a lot of service parts to get it 'A' grade, but £850 for a V plate with full service history, mot and road tax was a steal.

Always admired the looks of the Rover 600. Decided to try one.

Very smooth on the road. A comfortable motorway cruiser. It's no sports car, but the honda engine can spin when required for overtaking. 6 and half hour drive to Scotland was effortless.

Easy.

Car needed 2 new tyres, an exhaust, a new battery and a good service, but all these are consumables that just hadn't been adressed.

Comfort and a great sized boot.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Like the half leather seats.
