I thought "never....", but then again it's probably true.

Oh hang on a minute, what about the ZT180

OK - the Monza....

it's a C-plate Monza with all the stuff you'd expect from a GS/E. So that's LCD instruments, manual with LSD, the "crazy-pattern" interior, etc.

last used in 2005 and stored outside in a field since. It's all there, but some welding to do.

Delivered to you for £500 all in.

I'd like to include a photo, but I'm in Northumberland and it's in Lincolnshire, so it's a tad impractical.

Rover 220 Turbo was 196bhp, the ZT V8 was 260hp, all other models were less (the V6 had 190bhp).. in terms of peak power, anyway.

According to Wikipedia ;)

ZT V6 was MG, but they did put the same 4.6 V8 in the 75 and leave it badged 75, that would have been most powerful Rover made?  :-\

Pfft, same difference to most people :P Fair point, though.. plus the ZT wasn't a coupe, and that was one of your criteria..

I'd vote Monza GSE too actually, pickup a nice 24v Senator lump, drop that in  :)

Rover Coupe just screams chav to me. But thats just my 2 pence  :y

should add that the BMW is very reliable and will run perfectly fine half dead! the cooling system must be in tip top condition on them aswell!!

the 328is with m50 manifold & dave f induction kit can net around 230 odd bhp

agreed, they are good fun for little money  :y :y
