....and am inclined to say that SteveH doesn't know what he's talking about.
It was a 56 plate 1.8TDCI Sport that had done 80k miles (and been abused for most of them) and I couldn't fault the way it drove.
It handled well , the engine pulled strongly and claimed to be doing about 55mpg.
The interior looked a b ...

I've now got a Rover P4, a Rover P5, and a P6B.
None are hybrids, but they're all free tax ;-)

control flying wing.
After days spent building, testing, practising on a simulator etc etc,
finally got to take it out in a gap in the rain today with a guy at work
who is an experienced flier for moral support, advice and 'quick take

convertible. This should be an insane few weeks.
