Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club Forum

Yup, quite rare indeed-the SEI was only produced for a couple of years I think.

Looking forward to seeing your progress!

I’d certainly get involved if I were closer-to be honest from your description it does sound like HGF. I’d use the opportunity to get it done whilst changing the cambelt etc-no doubt this will probably be due on time anyway, and if you’re changing the cambelt you’re almost halfway there anyway...

Identical to the car my parents used to have and the inspiration for getting a SEI of my own. Looks lovely!

Congrats on the purchase-John is certainly a man I’d buy a car from!

Look forward to meeting you at some events soon; it’s good to have another younger member. (Yes-I’m trying to tell myself I’m still youngish at 32...)

Does the temperature gauge actually rise? It does seem to take a lot to get a K-Series fan to kick in, especially in the winter. When bleeding the cooling system it takes a good 15 odd minutes of idling before the fan kicks in (with me worrying that I’ve cooked it in the meantime!).

Wonder if they’re fitting the cam seals the correct way around-if they’re not fitted with the correct rotation in the correct positions, they’ll leak badly. Get them to use genuine seals too-I’ve found aftermarket ones are rubbish and quite often don’t have the little raised rubber lines in them to ...

That looks really good lowered!

There is a spectacularly lovely 420 GSI on eBay that’s done 7k miles at the moment. Looks wonderful!

Rimmers had a limited stock of the front trims, but the rear is NLA and nowhere on Xpart lists it.

Cheers! The 214 would be staying-just the BRM and possibly the 75 to go.

Least risky way is to remove the bumpers, then you can release the clips and pop them off from behind.

Do you mean the exterior chrome trims on the bumpers?

Welcome. They are rare but always keep looking-they can pop up when you least expect it!

Www.carandclassic.co.uk is one of my favoured hunting grounds.

Been toying with the idea of selling the BRM and thinning my classic fleet a little to enable the purchase of a nice daily drive (eyeing up a new-ish Golf GTI or Hyundai i30 N).

I’ve really got too many cars!

Definitely one I’d be interesting in going to.
