Heh... looking at the pics, and the insurance only being +£124, go for the Tomcat man!! 150bhp of raw Rover power, believe me, they are rapid, you will be pissing yourself when all the Saxo's et al are pulling up alongside you to race. Imagine what it would shift like if you whacked the Turbo onto it  If the car is a goodun, id jump for it!!

i'd go for the rover and ask the following questions
how many miles are on it?
has the headgasket ever gone?
and if it did have they fitted the modified gasket kit?

Yea man..Headgaskets on the Rovers are usual problems....also..oddly enough..heatshields or so Ive been led to believe... People people people... This is a T-Series engine, NOT a K-Series. It's the K-Series that has the radical (for the time) yet somewhat flawwed design that causes the head gasket problems. The T-Series is pretty much bullet-proof, unless you piss about with it, trying to increase performance, it is one engine you wont have to worry too much about. Of course it can suffer HGF, but no more than any other reliable engine, it is regarded as one of the most reliable non-jap engines. The biggest problem with it, there isnt much you can do past adding a turbo to increase performance that doesnt cost a lot money due to the amount of work involved, not something to worry about, besides which, this already has gained an extra 20bhp somehow anyway.

Its sounds pretty good, if you want I will post on the MG-Rover forums that and see what the experts over there say (Im more knowledgable about the K-Series and R3 200 rather than the R7 200 series to be honest).
