Might be more....if there's none now, when people realise they can't get parts they may have to break their cars...meaning a load of parts?

*mate of jonnycash and of the owner*
new picks of his car too
all that it has is a 55mm throttle boddie but not throttle bodies as you guys are thinking of just an increased flow rate boddy..still standard induction etc...those rear lights are standard wheels lowwerd...and induction kit
i think it's a smart car looks nice but imo it's still a rover under all the body work and badges.. but fair play to him

Nah mate, parts supply is good Jimbo. 
I had trouble sourcing the right ammount of fully synthetic Castrol diff oil and yank spec engine oil for two of the feckers, that was the only trouble mate.

Realy it's a Honda under all the bodywork and badges Jonny
Real Rovers are about twice the size of one of those and have a V8 at one end and drive at the other.
Anything that doesn't is just lying or misbadged at the factory.

To be fair in terms of value for money Rovers are qute good as you get loads of extras for a reasonable amount of money. I don't think I'd buy one personally as I'm into Jap crap now but they aren't too bad!
What spec is it? Is it the ZR 160?
