Strolls
Nearly all older Rover 200 1600's were fitted with Honda engines.
The 'K'series is tunable with the cat fiited, but if you want more power look for an 1800.
Probably the reason he won't give you the log book is because of it's 'write off' category.
Ideally you want a car that they will sell as repairable salvage.
The 'Q' plate will mean that you will not be able to fit a private plate etc and it may reduce the desireability of the car.
There is another way of getting donor parts. You can buy them from somewhere like Viking (think that's the name). They advertise in Kit Car. You buy all the donor parts and they offer you a guarantee on 'em.
Advantage of stripping the donor though is:
1. You know how it goes together.
2. You get odd fittings etc that you might use.
3. You can sell good parts that you don't need.
