This car?
 
Nice ride!

Even if they are dead in the water, you can pick up some great deals!

The only thing i will say is, the insurance is a little pricy for what is basically a rover estate that somebody bolted a turbo and MG badge onto. I know i wouldn't buy a car on group 15 if it was a rover.

All the same, it was pobably replacing something far worse, and possibly rover if i recall. Was it you that had a coupe with a turbo in it?
 
Mmmm... Can you taste that warranty?

Oh, no wait, you can't...

:D
 
Nah if you want a car in a silly insurance group, Ford Probes have to be a contender. 17 for a 2.5 litre V6 that has 160BHP and does 0-60mph in 8.5 secs and top speed of 137mph when a Hyundai coupe with very similar 0-60 is in insurance group 12! Still even more silly is the 2.0 16v Probe that only has 113BHP and does 0-60 in a sedately (for a sports coupe) 10.6 seconds and a top speed of 127mph which is in group 16... Whats even more silly is the Mazda MX-6 with the same 2.5 V6 engine and is practically the same car is in group 16 opposed to 17.

The Volvo 850 T5 is in group 16 and that does 0-60 in 7.1 seconds and has a top speed of around 155mph (limited)... Plus just think how much more damage your could do with it ;)

Sigh one day I will find a car...
 
167hp from the Probe/Mazda KL03.

But you can pick the Probe V6 up for buttons now.
 
I thought the ZT-T meant it was the turbo engine? Meh.

My friend who lives next door has a Rover 75 estate, fairly nice car, though they have had some hassle with it.

Yup, but it's blue and has 'Snowflake' rims

Oh good. I hate the standard rims they dish out.

These?

Oh, and is it pre face lift, or has it got the melted look headlights?
