To the unwary, that Rover looks like a tidy little runabout to me - for 750 quid tops. My old man bought one just like it in '97 and it gave him several years great service. No head gasket worries whatsoever. Biggest fault with age was a spot of rust where the top of the windscreen meets the roof!
These old Rovers weren't that bad at the time. Overpriced possibly, and not as good as the previous model, but not dogs.
