Selling my Rover 216 Tourer. Mot Febuary 2017 72,000 miles (will rise by 50 miles a day due to fact it is my daily) This model has the reliable Honda engine which does not suffer the usual head gasket issues that Rover engined ones suffer from. Recaro seats from a Rover 800 Vittesse the rears and door cards are from a rover 214 sei that use the same material. Lowered and fitted with 17" MGZR wheels with matching Khumo tyres 205/40/17 with good tread. I also have a matching alloy wheel with no tyre which I was going to paint to match the set as a spare. Kenwood Cd player New discs and pads all round just before I brought it. Induction kit fitted with gives a nice bark when accelerating. Drives great with no shaking on the steering or brake pedal, it really does drive well for a 20 year old car. I would not hesitate in jumping in this car right now and driving across Europe. I have covered 4000 miles in it and had no trouble at all. Price is £900 firm Located in Walsall West Midlands             |

Looks great. I always thought the Tourings looked every bit as appealing to the eye as the Beemers.
How is it lowered? Springs on standard shocks? Not chopped?

Just been out and jacked 1 front and 1 rear wheel right off the floor and can confirm the springs are red indicating aftermarket lowering springs and shocks seem to be standard ones. The springs are not loose when the wheel is off the floor and I can see no evidence of them being chopped. The ride is firm but perfectly acceptable, I do around 300-400 miles a week in it and I don't get annoyed by the ride at all. Previous lowered escorts I have had would get a little tiresome after a while but this is without doubt a better ride. I can understand why these sold so well in the early 90s as they are a cracking car.

Got a picture of the spare wheel.  Front shock and spring. Notice the red spring and what looks like the original sticker on the shock.   Rear  |

Looks nice, always loved these.
Don't suppose you're after a 1 previous owner 220 GTI on a 91 plate as part of a structured PX deal?

Sorry I have enough cars and this is an attempt to reduce the fleet. That's fine mate. I'm doing the same. The Saab, GTI and 1300 have all gotta go. Yours was what I'm after as my only car. |

Yours kooks great but I need to sell a jag and smart car before buying another. Oh right sorry I missed you. I have done 500 miles in it this week including 150 today, it is a shame to sell it but I just don't have a need for it now I have brought a car to tow with which can do the daily duties I just hope the replacement is as reliable as this is. Sorry I have enough cars and this is an attempt to reduce the fleet. That's fine mate. I'm doing the same. The Saab, GTI and 1300 have all gotta go. Yours was what I'm after as my only car. You never know I may still have it when you have sold something. A very handsome & clean looking example. Cheers |
