Having put a sizeable dent in the side of my Rover 200 Coupé,
the hunt was on for a new car. The first car I looked at was a Mk3 Golf GTI 8v,
but despite it having comparable performance to my 200 coupe, insurance said no - ‘we don’t insure under 21s on any GTI’.
With that out of the window speed was of the essence, I needed a car for work
and I started looking at everything. Except not everything, liking my cars as I
do it had to be something reasonably interesting. As luck would have it a
bargain priced Rover 45 TD caught my eye and warranted a look.
