1996 Rover 216
Specifications
Description
The Rover name and the Longbridge plant may be long gone, but isn't that even more reason to keep the flame alive and a watchful eye on the models it once produced?
With a Honda four speed automatic transmission and the same 1.6 litre engine which used to power the late 1980s Honda CR-X sports car, this gentleman's club on wheels (complete with burr walnut, and comfy armchair style seating) accelerates well and has a lot to offer. She also has a reasonably practical boot, excellent visibility with no need for parking sensors, as you can see all four corners easily; is very maneuverable in town and even has an electric sunroof and air conditioning.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- We'll just say - where on earth can you find one in this condition???
- I think it's fair to say this 216 Coupé wears its mileage extremely well. It really must have been looked after 'meticulously'.
- The paintwork it lustrous and looking inside, the previous owner must have been in fact a ghost, because it looks untouched.
- The leather-trimmed steering wheel is unworn, as is everything else in it.
- Look guys, this car is like new and we mean that literally. It may not be the most collectible car in the world but its unbelievably good - yes its that good - one out of a box - never seen anything like it.
- Low Mileage
- NZ NEW
- Low Ownership
- Sunroof, Power windows, Aircon.
- That's it - nothing else to add here really save first to see will buy.
Being a 216 you're not going to be overawed by its performance but, still, the D16A8 twin-cam developed 122hp. This meant 0-60mph in 9.5 seconds, which is far from sluggish.
It is a great car, ride and nippy enough. Well built well and could carry four passengers easily. Looks the part too.
We really think this is an absolute bargain when one considers its condition. In their time, these models were well loved and received by the motoring press and public alike. They are inexpensive to buy, quite practical, and do exude a fair bit of nostalgic charm.
We love it and we're sure you will too.
Car will be sold WOF'd and registered.
Viewing Monday to Friday BY APPOINTMENT Only.
