Thoughts on this engine donor

Post by 4th Gen Doug » Fri May 02, 2014 8:43 am

Does anyone have any thoughts on this as an engine donor for my broken H23A2? *

'specially @4thgenphil who suggested looking at these.. ;)
It's only done 40k! :o

Cheers
Doug

* I know I'm mental, but I don't want a H22, I'd like to keep it 2.3i

Thoughts?
Nice car, shame to break it.
Won't find a lower mileage engine than that.

thanks @wurlycorner,
It does seem a shame, but I've never really had a thing for Rovers - it's the engine I'm salivating over! :lol:

The 600 is a nice car.
Always really fancied a 620ti in nightfire red...

800's a great luxo barge too, especially with the Honda 2.7V6. A nice Sterling in black or British Racing Green with cream leather is lovely.

Come on wurly... back to the nursing home.

There are only 3 types of cream that are acceptable and a car interior is not one of them.

Rover 600 = Honda Accord
Rover 800 = Honda Legend

2.3 Rover 600 = Perfect Donor 8-)
