  A Grand Monday: Rover 400 27 Mar 2017 (News)
  Build quality, comfort, dynamic ability and the neatness of its design were all things that worked in its favour, as did the lively new 16-valve K-series engines, which punched well above their weight in terms of both fuel economy and performance - a fact all too easily forgotten these days, thanks to the unit's unfortunate reputation for head gasket failure.
