Wow, that's the most polished turd I've ever seen

It does take two to lift the hard top off , it's not heavy just awkward

Our British Racing Green R reg 214 had its problems. The dreaded head gasket failure, a passenger side electric window which decided to fall out one day and a temperamental alarm which used to randomly go off sometimes when unlocking the car (surprisingly loud and intimidating GTFO of my way sounding horn TBF)… But it was still a really nice little car despite its issues. Comfy, quiet and a good looking little motor for it’s time, despite being a supermini. Still remember the reg of ours. R570 EJW. Sadly scrapped in 2006.

Just snatched one at 230k km, had it done it's musts and now awaiting for it's delivery. 230k but better than nothing for the beauty.

You know that the game is up when you rename your old Metro and try to present it as a new car. Would have done better upping the engineering and quality control and keeping the name!

Nel 1997 ho acquistato una 414 SI. Bellissima auto, comoda, elegante. Però dopo pochi anni ho avuto seri problemi con la testata del motore.... peccato

I had a purple one. 1.4 cvt 5 door. 😊 ...amaranth!!

Anyone interested buying a Rover 600, honda engine, automatic gear with 69000miles on the clock. Dm

Привет из 2021. В Беларуси эти машины доживают свои сроки по максимуму. Ещё полным полно целых Rover с оригиналами запчастями, но наш русский менталитет будет ремонтировать 25-летний Ровер ещё лет 10 до тех пор, пока он ездит) вечная жизнь роверам. Как владелец Rover 416 Si 1996 могу с уверенностью сказать, что это лучшая машина на которых я ездил. Надёжность 10/10. За полтора года не потребовала ни копейки вложиться в ремонт и всегда заводилась с пол-тыка, даже постояв всю зиму в -24

Classic car

The Rover 200Vi was new from January 1997.

A 1978 metro with different lamps. Lol @ the designer drawings!

Great cars, much underated and slagged off by the morons who no nothing about Rover. Only the equivalent Honda accord was as good to drive. Of course they were virtually identical under the skin.

These little cars were actually really good, given their small dimensions, they were surprisingly roomy inside, quite quick and good handling and good economy. They were much better than some people would have you believe.

ROVER 416 SI 1996

Love the way they show the designers illustrations which he probably spent months of effort on, only for them to go "fuck it! Change the name and put a new grill on it!"

Award winning k series engine 🙄

I was the owner of Rover 620 si from 2001 to 2015, went over 300,000km with him, excellent. I made the biggest mistake when I sold it!

it was the beginning of the end for metro punto and polo/Ibiza had just come onto the market. Then it was a rival for KA.

Small cramped with a small boot a poor crash test result and not as good as the previous better spacious more comfortable and practical Rover 400 / 200 and it's variants

1:32 That's absolutely true. I got 4.8l/100km with the 1.6 Manual version

Dogs balls the sd1 is way better.

Lynn, I'm not driving a Mini Metro.

Missed out the "And yes, amazing HGF guaranteed, or your money back" part.

And free blowing head gaskets and rust.

A convertable version! Imagine driving through your home town in that.

I've had nearly 40 cars, ranging from a new Touareg down to a 50 quid Robin, I've got a 75 again now, the 25 is the best car i ever had, once you change the gasket it's fine,my father in law has it, it's still as stiff as new, unlike some "Good" cars people bang on about, worst car i had was an Audi 80, bag of shite, and the Touareg

Proof you can't polish a turd.

I didn't hear any mention that the 1.6 automatic model has a Honda engine!

'They've rebadged it you fool!'

Too bad the K-Series sucked dick

Ample rear legroom unless you have two giants in the front with seats pushed back, small boot, 3 star EuroNCAP rating.

Driver's airbag OPTIONAL, DREADFUL crash performance, CRAMPED rear seats caused by fitting whapping huge seats in the front gobbling up the rear legroom, based on an 80's Metro floorpan and cobbled together. Woefully out of date then, sinfully obsolete now thanks to MG Rover going belly up in 2005.

They did it on the cheap, using the old 80s floorpan, using the old metro plans to build and develop a brand new body, fish in the rover parts bins for whatever they could find, put the thing together and equip it with Rover 200 seats in the front which gobbled up the rear legroom and made it tight to sit for any length of time, and to add insult to injury, only for driver airbags to be available as an option and even then, with an airbag fitted it wasn't safe in a crash, gaining 1 EuroNCAP star for its crash safety with fatal leg torso ankle face and chest injuries in frontal impact, while the head never touched the airbag and rolled off hitting the door.....

rover 800 showroom vid?

I have a 21 year old 1997 420 GSI 4 door with 26k miles on. Lovely little car , not many left now.

Old car recycled so many times! I'm not criticizing, just applauding how many times the British car industry can facelift a car that was already 17 years old! Maybe on day BMW will bring the metro back just like the mini😊

its a shame Rover is gone i miss my Rover 420 di my first car

motori serie k erano proprietà BMW fini i contrati con la honda
