Sounds ok Chris but I was once trapped in one of those things and it was brand new at the time. Obviously because of that incident I have always questioned the build quality ever since.
Basically I pulled up in it and when I went to get out the door handle on the inside just did absolutely nothing so I had to clamber across the centre console to free myself from the thing.
Hopefully yours won't do that but apparently they do go wrong quite often according to someone I know with a fleet of 12 of them.

Well mine has had its head gasket done; my son in law refurbishes heads
so no major problem if it goes again.
On a general note, I am very, very impressed with the ride, handling and
comfort of the Rover, as good as the V8 Daimler it has replaced. But of
course nothing like the grunt of the Daimler. But then again the Rover
is on Gas, (as is my Old Jeep) so with having my own LPG tank, and only
paying 25 per litre, its very very cheap motoring, in some style.
With 2 CP on it, no one will know its not a new one and it effectively
does 100 MPG. Not bad at all!
If any one is looking for a beautiful LWB Daimler 4 litre V8 with about
80K miles on, full Jaguar service history, built in phone, CD, climate,
sun roof all the electric toys, including an anti-hijacking alarm
system, its yours for £7k., one former Owner, the chairman of ICI.,
chauffeur driven and maintained. A snip at the price.

I've just bought an old mini...and it's brown. Not a bad runaround
