As awesome as that thing is that is a lot of money for an RRC. A manual would be great, but not for $ 8-10 grand over a comparable-quality auto.

I would also be nervous about the mileage actually. Rovers are happiest when driven. They are very maintenance intensive, but everything that causes failures would be worse if it had been sitting a lot. Dried out seals and hoses (I blew my upper radiator hose last night! Yay!) and the driveline not getting lubricated sufficiently seem to be the source of most major failures(the Rover V8 isn’t actually particularly prone to catastrophic failures, but the cooling system is and the all- aluminum engine will warp if you overheat it thanks to an unnoticed coolant leak , or seals failing unnoticed preventing more expensive stuff from being properly lubricated etc ).

Between my auto Range Rover classic and my manual current-gen Tacoma I would rate the Tacoma as significantly better for cereal-eating.

As the lack of sway bars and cupholders increase the likelihood of a lapfull of cereal and/or coffee and the greater mental attention required in piloting the Rover prevents me from enjoying my meal the Tacoma is my go-to option on mornings when I eat breakfast in the car.

I initially read that as “5-speed manual shitbox.” Seems accurate. We had one of these -- what a POS.

at that price, does it include jackstands and AAA or are you meant to provide your own?
