Not entirely sure - but it's a shonky old turbo diesel engine, if you've ever heard them. Can't imagine they're that fast.
And iirc, it's only a TD, not TDi.

Thrown together by a bunch of Brummy monkies who seem to have been workin on a perpetual Friday afternoon, bad engine, cheap and tacky trim.
Oh, and remember that it's just a 15 year old Rover 200 in a dress, with front suspension from 1984

very underated cars, should be around 115bhp as standard so not bad, if you put a set of SDI injectors on and do a little porting you can easily see 150bhp+.
the engines are great, but can chew fuel pumps, my old rover 25TD blew a pump at 75k, check the belts have been done, and dont let anyone tell you it has a leather interior, it doesnt its PVC.
if its cheap go for it, they handle well, very torquey and very underestimated car
