1997 Rover - Austin 200 vi review from UK and Ireland
"Fast, cheap to buy, watch that head gasket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket needs looking at soon as oil is starting to weep into the water
new battery at 52k.
General comments?
Driving position is poor
a quick car off the lights beats golf vr6 to 60
top end power is not great as it seems to run out of steam at 120mph.
