Re: G-reg Rover 416 GSi
That looks really good. Those wheels look just right on that model and anything else would be an undesirable modification on such an original-looking car.

Re: G-reg Rover 416 GSi
I agree Matthew. I think it would have been sacrilege to fit any other type of wheel really. At least these are authentic to the model year.

Looks lovely though to be honest

Naaaaaah. But funnily enough I saw a few alloys at BL Day in grey rather than the usual silver which looked very good!

Re: G-reg Rover 416 GSi
So the 416 is now on a SORN for the winter.
Looking forward to next year already. Got a few things lined up - there's a noisy exhaust heat shield, and I want to get the cam belt done.
There's some minor paint issues (size of little fingernail) to sort out.
I want to also get under the bonnet and clean the engine bay properly using Gunk or similar.
Hope it fares well whilst it's laid up.

I would try to start her up every month and run until hot. Park with the h.brake off and chock the wheels.
