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 😅.
So interesting! Thank you.
Amazing advertisement
the movements of the car, maneuvering of the car is the same after 25 years. yes i own one, the car is so good and feels powerful
PLEASE NEW VIDEOS ADD THIS ROVER 400 ADS
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?
I had one. Best car I ever drove .
What a naff ad?! I'd be amazed if the interior of that 200 wasn't drenched! 😂
Not sure if trendy young women were the type of demographic that bought Rover 200s, but it's a great ad never the less.
My dad had a rover 400
My dad's car. Got it in 2006 and got rid of it in 2017_18
Good memory. Has a 200 company car in 1996.
PLEASE NAME THIS MOVIE ROVER 216 GSi
JESUS ROVERS
Rover had the best car badge of all time. never driven one, Land Rover owner here, but still.
Probably best to open the windows now.
How times have changed since the 90s 😞
Love this.
Fantastic advert - Thanks for the upload :)
I bought one. New 213S in 1987. Great car, whisper quiet drive.
its possible transform to electric system told the rover 214i ?
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.
Great ad,Dont think id like to drive my45 conissiuer like that though!hah
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.
I had my wedding reception here - South Shields Town Hall. It’s a beautiful Edwardian building with a stunning Art Nouveau interior.
I remember watching the Italian version of this commercial in 1995. Brings back memories.
ROVER ENGINE 👑👑👑👑👑👑
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 had the 216SE efi . Lovely car. Nice and comfortable.
Brilliant ad. Remember it well
I wonder if Vic and Bob saw this advert one time and decided to produce the advert for the Renault Clio? 😆
Definitely - the Clio ad is a parody of this one, and ‘The Graduate’, of course.

that quality mate, 4k right here
Fantastic ad for a fantastic car
The boy has no lens on the SLR camera 📸
wtf lol someone dropped too much acid
Not a bad looking car to be honest!
I grew up with the driver. His names Kevin. I still know him. went to the same school.
Oh wow, you know Kevin Parry. That's actually quite cool. Mind you, I'd rather be acquainted with his character's on-screen girlfriend Kendra Torgan. She's sooooooo cute. Or at least she was then.
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.
It's no 205
Ow yes
One of the best Rover adverts I've ever seen. My country and my age barely has any link with those, but after I found out what this car and company was, it began more and more memorable at every moment when I watched this. Thanks for such a precious sharing ;)
