BRM gash.......Rover attempt to be cool and exclusive.

I hope you didn't give more than scrap money for it.

Oh that's factory fitment? Jeez!

Because racecar

If I squint they look identical!

If you bought it for a bet you've definately won

You need medical treatment...quickly!!!

OMG HGF!!!!!!

LOL! Its even got a BRM private plate!

The previous owner must have been so proud!

What size K series donk do these turds have?

1.8 vvc, 143 bhp, close ratio gearbox with torsen lsd.

Goes alright actually, and feels very nicely setup for uk roads.

The rest of it is typically rover though, but it's so silly I'm growing quite fond of it.

When it works, the 1.8 VVC is a cracking engine. I bet it goes pretty well. I reckon a BRM is worth looking after and putting a few quid into. Is it rusty anywhere? The 200's were supposedly better made than the later 25's.

As ugly as these turds are they can be epic fun. plus the engine can be tweaked to 160BHP the same as the MGZR 160 quite easily.

LOL! Seek help

It's actually pretty good, front wings and rear arches are amongst the best I've seen, and it all feels pretty well screwed together, although many fixings and fasteners are a long way from BMW quality.

The roof is the main problem, they go in the corners under the gutter trims, and brms seem particularly bad for it, whether tey went through a different paint or final assembly line or something I don't know.

Mines one of the last ten registered, I haven't seen another W reg one, and it had full history from new at the supplying dealer until they closed a couple of years ago. The plate was put on at first registration, and it still has the original dealer numberplates, window stickers, tax disk holder and original radio cassette player with cd changer under the passenger seat
