Thanks Alex.
The r32 will be for sale shortly and once I do the brakes in the vr6 it will go to the mother in law.

That leaves a 2 door golf shell and a feroza that will also be sold off when I get the time.

All other cars will be garaged (which is hard to imagine), until I start working on the wife's mini cooper s replica build.

Rover bought the licence from BMG and made motors (and cars) right up to the year 2000. What you're looking at is an A plus 1275 engine. Blocks have extra webbing and head manufactured to run on unleaded.
The wheels are huge 13s to clear my massive 8.4 inch disc brakes. Lol. Also courtesy of rover.
Sold the 10 inch mini lites as they quickly became redundant.

2016 was the tipping point. In 2015 we had 3 mazdas (2x rx7's) and 1 golf.
Now I just have my 5 and 13bt s3 rx7 and 4 golf's.
