some people even think cause its got the "kit and mg badge" its faster than the counter part r200. sadly they are wrong.
I do give rover some credit in build quality, they are well build but the rust proofing is shocking! also the engine was highly advanced for its time too.
keep an eye on the coolant and the previous owner is a fool for swopping the throttle body over from a 52 to a 56! as the 52 one is the one to have!
The hype they made for it is a little over the top, but then they really needed this to sell well. I find it better looking than the rover and the mg badge sounds a lil more sporting than a rover.
You are right on the rust proofing, there are patches of it about including the aerial area which is a shame when you see it ruining the paint work.
Watching the coolant like a hawk, topped it up today as well to make sure it doesn't run low.
what I have done with mine, I installed a second fan as a back up option.
just make sure the car is up to temp before you give it some beans.
