I really want this car in order to try and offer the engine up to my 3rd gen Accord. It's exactly what I've been searching for, for some time now. Price is a bit steep mind! :lol:

Honda V6 goodness

That car is WAY to good to break.
That's a minter and a rare car 8-)

A mate's dad at school had one of those and then replaced it with the facelift version (Rover 2.5KV6 instead of the Honda 2.7)

Wouldn't the weight of the lump cancel out any potential gains anyway?

Yeah to be fair I don't think they're massively powerful engines, I just thought a V6 Accord would be cool. No doubt it'd be a jobby ton of work though and I'd get bored halfway through and buy something else :oops:

Had that engine in my legend coupe, very smooth with mega light power steering until you hit about 15 mph and then it sort of shuts itself off. Caught me out a few times whilst negotiating a roundabout :lol:

All such Rover's rotted so quickly, hence why there are next to none left.

A real treat to see this one in pretty much A1 condition. (A step back in history!)
