1994 Rover - Austin 200 220GSi Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"The ultimate Q car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket went twice.
Same with the radiator.
New washer motor.
New starter motor.
The car loves eating front brakes and tyres too.
General comments?
A real stealth performance car. All the practicality of a hatchback with monsterous acceleration and grip.
Once the handling had been sorted out with Koni yellow shocks and new springs, it became just about unbeatable.
