acutlly over a 16vt i would take the rover

Yeah i know what you mean, v boring interior, the coupe interior looks stunning espec with chrome rings, the body coloured strip is a class act, makes me smile everytime i sit in the car i like the front of the gtv and side on is not bad, but the rear is hideous, looks really dated, park all 3 side by side, coupe would outshine them both with ease In fact, when i park the coupe up in public car park (a rare occurence lol), its very rare that i see a car around it that looks as good unless its exotic

Im genuinely shocked that somebody can prefer the looks of a 'rover coupe' to a 'fiat coupe', different strokes for different folks i guess though..

Cheers for that Trappy, a good read, its interesting to see the coupe compared to its peers, competition it was up against at its time of release & design, rather than pointless comparisons with much more modern cars (IMHO)

not really i have both on my drive and i have a speed red 20vt aned a thati blue 220 coupe n/a and i would say they both look great!

You are one crazy dude!

not at all i have had both and i know from experiance. put it this way it is a diffrent best but just as good if not better than a 20vt coupe and i would take it over a 16vt coupe everytime

The 220 Rover coupe is ok, but there is no way on earth I would rather have one than a good 16VT

If I was given one maybe the best thing to do would be to scrap it and fit the engine into my brothers Morris Minor.

why do you sat that mate,iv got a 16vt put i would really like to no why you would rather the 16vt than the 20vt

I never said that.

What I said was.. I would rather have a 16VT than a 220 coupe Rover.

Think he meant this dude: "not at all i have had both and i know from experiance. put it this way it is a diffrent best but just as good if not better than a 20vt coupe and i would take it over a 16vt coupe everytime "

...who has clearly never driven a 16vt. I did have a look at Rover Coupes about five or six years ago, but they're all just a bit.. shit. They look reasonable when standard, but any of the ones I found were all like something out of Max Power. Innit.

sorry i miss read your post

I think we all do that from time to time.

the bigger the thread the more likly i am to read it wrong[lol]

We all make mistakes, no one in inflammable.
