Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club

This is the KZread Channel for the Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club.

We publish content about the club's activities and historic content, usually Rover originated averts, internal communication footage, marketing and technical briefs.

Much of the marketing content is the result of remastering the Rover Group Marketing Department's VHS video archive which was donated to the club.

    This car really was good, just awkward that it was more the size of a Fiesta or Corsa but cost as much as a high end Escort or Astra. Though that was rectified with the 25.

    Could you imagine that being commissioned now---but weirdly it's like some sort of guilty pleasure----😅 if I'd travelled over the Yorkshire moors in pursuit of the woman of my dreams I suspect a bit of lift off oversteer might have got in the way 😅.

    these adverts are so interesting because they seem to have incorrect info, so either they were unreleased versions or there were R8 models I didn't know existed, for example the only production 214i I knew of was the 8v version that replaced the carb 214S, I never knew there was a 16v 214i

    they say the k-series is available in 1.4 or 1.6 but the R8 216 was Honda-powered, there wasn't a K-Series 1.6 until the mid nineties, a mistake by marketing or was the intention to have an R8 216 K-Series?

    Really informative and would be so interesting for idiots like Clarkson if you made similar videos for every major component in the whole car or even the whole model lineup. He, and his followers, might then have some clue about how complex pieces of Engineering are created.

    Probably would have cost him more to ship the Rover 200 over to New York and make it road legal than the car cost new, £5995 I believe they started at .

    Well for what it’s worth, they didn’t do any federalisation to the car to drive it in New York. They basically asked permission from the NYC governor, asked the federal government for approval and then shipped it over, filmed for two days then brought it back. After it returned to the UK, this exact car was delivered to Longbridge then transferred to Clark’s of Bromsgrove for sale; with a little backstory behind it, a letter of authenticity and promotional pictures of it scooting round NY to boot. My mum worked there at the time and she sold it to it’s next owner, still have the pictures of it in the showroom somewhere.

    The diesel was the best choice as it has a good spread of power and torque, gives better economy than the petrol engines and is the best choice if you regularly need to tow a caravan or trailer.

    I would like to think that the car won her over. But it was probably more to do with the fact that he was a property mogul, but very frugal, hence the Rover, and had just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But she stood to gain everything once he died, but only if she married him.
