Model: Rover 216 GTI Twin Cam Year: 1991 Mileage: 111000 Tax: 31/10/11 MOT: 31/8/11 Location: Southampton Price: £550 £500 Additional Information: I bought this car on here earlier in the year as a cheap run about, and it's done me proud. However I'm now looking for something bigger so the Rover will need to go. This is the model with the DOHC Honda D16 engine (as found in the CRX), not to be confused with the less frantic SOHC model you'll find in most of these! With 130bhp it's a fairly quick little car, but you definitely need to rev it to get that performance. But best of all though, no head gasket issues!! Engine and gearbox in this car are strong, it pulls well through all the gears with no nasty noises and doesn't use any fluids. A weak point on these can be the distributor, but the previous owner sorted with a replacement unit. Interior is also in great condition - you get half leather bucket seats (very supportive!) and also working e/m, e/s/r, PAS and c/l. I've also put in a decent CD player (with aux connector for ipod/phone) with some new Pioneer front speakers too. The only issues I can think of is a slightly saggy drivers door card and a cracked bit of trim in the boot. The car is let down a bit by it's bodywork. It's certainly presentable, and still looks good IMHO, but up close you'll find a few rust scabs bubbling through and a few dings here and there. However this is reflected in the price. On the plus side it's got the desirable 15" alloys and the later style rear lights, which suit the car really well. Original rear lights included if required. Ideally I'm after cash, but would consider part ex for something diesel or LPG and ideally a bit bigger than the 216. Or a small frugal hatchback for the wife. Shout if you want any more info or to view the car. Can also take some better pics if required (these are the best ones I had to hand). Cheers

This was mine previously - I've had about six of these, and this was one of the better ones.

Thanks guys. I thought I had organised a swap for a Punto Sporting this weekend, but the guy seems to have gone quiet which is a shame. In preparation I gave the car a quick wash, comes up pretty good:

You are SteveH and I claim my five free spurious excuses for a cars inherent shitness because it happens to be of Italian descent.

Heh, I actually like them and it would be a good choice to replace the wifes C1. But it wasn't to be. What I'd really like is my mates Primera eGT he's selling, but need the cash from this first

that looks immaculate! free bump from a fellow rover gti owner and for anyone who hasnt driven one of these they are highly under-rated, and the honda engined ones like this are unburstable, rev forever and are great econmical fun, and those seats are comfy as anything too!!!

Would you be interested in a p/x with a Renault 9 turbo?

Very tempting, but I'm suppose to be looking for something more sensible so it's probably not for me. Give me a shout if you wanna do a cash deal though

One last bump at reduced price, otherwise I'll keep it a bit longer and will put an MoT on it later in the summer.
Oh, and it'll be getting an oil and filter change this weekend for peace of mind

Yeah no worries buddy, drop me a PM and we can sort something out. I'm in all weekend. The SEi isn't for me though I'm afraid, I've already got me eye on a couple of other cars Cheers

I can confirm this is one of the better ones out there - not mint, but very respectable for the age, has obviously been very well looked after and more crucially, obviously had many more years worth of motoring left in it when we parted company.
Were my circumstances a bit different I'd have had this back in a shot tbh but alas there's only so much space on the drive and the part of it this used to occupy now has a van sitting in its place.

Was this car yours at an earlier point in time then i assume? She looks as good as i had expected, hopefully picking her up tomorrow afternoon!

Yes, I sold it to Carl a few months ago - I only sold it because I couldn't justify keeping this one and the cabriolet I had at the time.
