Well considering Choksi is afterall a car dealer i would think its a possibility ;-]

Correction, it has a honda engine - not Vtec

rgowani · 20th March 2004, 11:10

Umm Dude It has a Totyota Engine Man not a Honda.

ajmat · 20th March 2004, 11:45

NO it is a Honda - the Rover 216 is basically a Honda Ballade re-engineered for the UK -the 214 used Rover's K series engien, the 216 used the honda engine unless choksay has been playing around with engines - v difficult on a fwd car. Prior to BMW buying Rover, Honda had a 20% share in Rover

Thats correct, Rovers partnership with Honda gave birth to a lot of Rover badged Honda cars and the abovementioned 216 is one of them.

This partnership ended with the entry of BMW into Rover files in the late 90's.

i THINK that the Rover which Choksey has is grey/silver but im not too sure. Maybe he must be having 2 of the same kind or maybe he just re-painted or something. But the car sure is confortable even while sitting in the back-seat. Its nothing like today generation converts where the rear seats are nuthing but an extension of the front seats. The car sure does look ugly as hell though. Well not ugly but too old and boxy

rgowani · 20th March 2004, 22:37

No Ajmat, Im talking about the PARTICUALR Rover Cabriolet which Choksey has which is this 1. It has the Toyota 4 Cyclinder Engine.

rgowani · 20th March 2004, 22:39

Hey Ajmat,
I just remebered Choksey's 1 was a Maroonish Red colour and not a Black. Sorry My Mistake.

ajmat · 21st March 2004, 10:16

No worries, hope he's not putting matador engines into Mercedes's ?
