This is currently in the Auctions at work.

It is a Rover 623i. A very poor looking one at that !!

Let's stick a big bore exhaust on so it makes lots of noise but probably reduces power because it has not been designed for it.

Hmm... My 620 Ti looked pretty much standard apart from big wheels... but was producing upwards of 350BHP

If it goes, I will let you know how much for :)

I might add, it has Half Leather trim too, with a Wood look Centre console etc, I couldn't get inside the Car for pictures as they are now locked until sale time.

More than likely end up being bought by a Breaker firm, I saw several Rovers go out the other day to a breakers, it was a shame to see them all going. A 116, 214, 418 600 and two 45's :(

Though the Breaker kindly let me rummage for the Handbooks from each car, I managed to find two, the Rover 400 had one with a Vinyl Wallet and the 600 had a beautiful leather folder / wallet. Both had Handbooks and ICE Instructions :)

Drat, I was just quickly scrolling down to post that. :D


You could increase it's value by a hefty percentage by inflating the nearside front.
I wonder if it's been thrashed at all?

What on earth gave you the idea it might have been? I mean it's clearly been a one careful lady owner car.







Plus the unnamed other owner of course.

The owner apparently wants £300 for it.

OK - I know it's a little, er, 'in yer face', but surely it's worth £300 - just as a 'track day tool' if nothing else (presuming it goes, of course)

(oh, and please, no jokes along the lines of 'you'd have to be a track day 'tool' yourself to drive it :D )

I havent seen or heard it running, it is a 620 Turbo with 119k on the clock so would make for a fun track car I suppose :)
