how hard to find????

Post by maxtherotti »

Hi all
Im downsizing my cars at the moment so thought I would get the wife a nice 420 tourer (I don't want my dog in the back of the zs)
So I have been looking for a rover 400 tourer for a while now and cant find one anywhere
Where have they all gone ????????????

I'm guessing that the youngest ones now being 15 years old may have something to do with it :)

Get a civic aerodeck and fire a 400/45/ZS front on it. Close enough :lol:

Well I couldn't find one so ended up getting (and don't hate me too much for this please) a Ford mondeo mk3 zetec s v6 estate for dog duty
and to be fair the boot is bloomin huge!!!!!! bigger than the discovery td5 its replaced
even sort of drives ok if im being honest

then the other day I was driving through oxford and see a charcoal grey 420 gsi tourer so started the itch again lol
