Rover 213/216

hi i have 2 rover 213 which are the same age and same colour,with being the intention of having one good car and then strip the other one down for parts.the only dilemma i have is which one is strip down,as they both need work done.i love these cars and they are reliable and great on fuel.i have the basic mode and i have the 213s model .these cars are very easy to service and you can still get most parts which are widely avaliable.personally i buy my parts from ebay.my cars start 1st time every time in all weathers,they may not be the most modern car on the road but personally i dont care it does what i want from it. these cars are very bad for rust especially on the doors,sills,you have to stay on top of the rust.no technology in this car which means no expensive repairs,im happy with my wind up windows and strange looks i get off people but if you can put up with that then you will have a cheap and reliable car
