Make the most of global warming in the company of family or friends.
1995 Rover 214 cabriolet, MOT October 21, 60000 miles, currently sharing daily driver duties. Benefits from a working power hood and leather interior, it's a comfy and pleasant place to be.
It's 26 years old so it's not mint but apart from the bonnet it polishes up well, there are a few scabby bits starting around the rear arches but nothing serious yet and it is really solid underneath, obviously there are few scuffs.
It drives really nicely, all R8s do, is economical and nice to drive. It sometimes runs lumpy for the first minute after a cold start but clears quickly, it would probably benefit from a service. The temp gauge has recently stopped working, I'll look into it if I get time and there is a small intermittent water loss, it doesn't always do it and never does more than empty the expansion bottle. A pressure test shows fine and it has never overheated in my ownership. The head gasket was done late last year.
I've really enjoyed this car and wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere, only going as I have a MGF coming. All in all a cheap family soft top for the summer.
