Phew!! I thought I was going to be the one wearing the hat saying 'I paid the most for my Rover' :P
Hardly I bought mine back when they were worth something. I looked at one for £8995 and the average price for an m reg was circa £4000.

£1400 :)

Out of interest, what were your cars worth new? Mine was £10,500, seems so much now considering what you can get for the money.

What were Tis worth? What about coupes?

I baught my Preg 1997 600ti in 2004 for £2150 with 75,000 miles on the clock but gearbox had a small leak.

Half a year later i had to get a recon gearbox as the current one at the time ate itself :? :roll:

Bloody hell! Can buy some nice cars today for that kind of money. (not that a Ti isnt nice of course ;) ) I bet my sisters Alfa GTV cost around that mark back in the day. But then i guess cars are alot cheaper nowadays - mine was £10.5k new, nowadays you get alot of car for that money. Actually, looking on Google, a new GTV now is only about £23k new.
