Hi there
My wife has just bought a 2006 SE auto coupé to replace the Rover 200 coupé (Tomcat) she's owned and loved for years but was just getting a bit tired. The Hyundai is a lovely looking car and I enjoyed the short test drive so she's looking forward to driving it and I'm looking forward(?) to dealing with the inevitable issues - which I hope are few and far between.....

Re: Hi there
Can I just ask a very dumb question? My wife's new car is a 2006 (06 plate) 2.0 auto. Is this a series 3? Or how could I find out? It's still at the dealer at the moment while we clear space for it. Anybody want a mechanically good but cosmetically slightly challenged Rover 1.8 VVI Tomcat?

Re: Hi there
if it's an 06 plate then it's what's known as a gen 3.5 which is the facelift version of the gen 3, here's our handy mugshot guide showing each generation...iansoady wrote: ↑Sun Nov 25, 2018 4:01 pm Can I just ask a very dumb question?

Re: Hi there
It wasn't a 220 Turbo Tomcat Coupe was it? What did you do with the Tomcat?iansoady wrote: ↑Sun Nov 25, 2018 11:53 am My wife has just bought a 2006 SE auto coupé to replace the Rover 200 coupé (Tomcat) she's owned and loved for years but was just getting a bit tired.

Re: Hi there
No, it's a 1.8 VVI. Still on the drive at the moment. Lovely looking car and drives very well but has a few cosmetic, electrical and detail issues which TBH I can't be bothered with. Our next door neighbour runs a small garage so he'll probably take it but if you were interested......

Re: Hi there
1.8 VVC? Nice... I do like the Rover Coupes, but with moving and having a few project cars at the moment this is the wrong time for me I'm afriad!iansoady wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 3:04 pm No, it's a 1.8 VVI.
