Rover 2600 — What a classic! One of my favourite cars of all time, only a Jag drove better in my opinion! I had a 2.6 Vanden Plas which was absolutely gorgeous inside, it was like driving a gentlemans club around! It was also fairly quick for a big automatic, and did over 30mpg on the motorway at 80+ mph! I really wish I still had this car!!

Pros: Beautiful inside and out, roomy, good perfomance

Cons: electrical problems and rust
