Another vote for Rover here. I'm currently shopping for one of these:

A bit over your budget though as i'm looking to spend between 2 and 2.5K. There is this one for 1.8K on ebay at the moment:

Rover have always been crap!

I mean the 3500 with a V8 in it only made 135bhp! That just shows the mentality of them. Ship in and American V8 and detune it!
I have driven so many Rover/BL cars over the years and they have all been rubbish!
Badly designed and badly made.

Its taken the Japanese to come and show us how to make good cars in this country.
