Nice one mate, been looking for one for myself for ages but hard to find over here. Add to that the folks selling rovers seem to be incapable of returning an email or phone call makes it all the more trickier.

Klas quite correct. Built 2000, but registered here in May 2001! One of the last 2000 cars made. Will put more pics up later.

Nice! That was the finish I was originally after, thahiti blue with silver stripes sportspack. Very nice.
I ended up getting one in volcanic orange. The orange ones never looked very nice in the pictures but is amazing in person.
Is that a webasto sunroof also?

Yes, factory fitted. The car is completely standard and original spec.

The Pork Pie Run is an amazing event and I think it is only going to get bigger. Wanganui is an amazing stop over - we have lunch there on the 2nd day. It seems most of the community comes out to see the cars. Unfortunately we can't stop too long as we need to keep up the pace!
@Mick, do it. I can't believe how different they are to drive. Fun!!
Will post more pics once the weather clears up here.
