Another Allegromsn car, so it's obviously good! He brought it down for me to drive, and as I have never reviewed this specific car before it made sense to do so.

I like this; low mileage, necessary service done, wear items replaced. Allegro man has done a great job, well done!

Roverman - sorry - Allegroman does a very nice job of his cars. A fine specimen indeed 👍

I had a 416 GTi. Had it for 15 years and the build quality was amazing. The interior was like new when i sold it And no gimmicky touchscreen, lane assist and it had buttons and rotary heating controls for the heating. Simple but better abd safer to use than touching a screen. I miss rovers.

A few years ago my neighbour had a 216 and a then relatively new 25 with the project drive 'upgrades' . The vast gulf in quality was amazing. I remember the 25s interior looking knackered after a year while the old 200 despite more usage still looked fresh.

I drove my 25 1.6 from London to Birmingham on the M40 for PoL. No shortage of power. Complete shortage of sound deadening. Next year I'm gonna wear ear defenders.

I remember going to a rover showroom when I was 18 and wanting one of these, I think it was Tahiti blue si. The problem was the price and the slightly haughty attitude of the dealer. Great review.

I had a 216SLi in British Racing Green with the beige dashboard about 20 years ago. This brings back memories. Would you believe it the head gasket went? 😂

@7:35 That would've looked like a street scene from a 1990s TV programme, if it weren't for the newish van and red Corsa spoiling the effect.

The Mk1 25’s were decent quality it wasn’t until the Pro-dive things went down hill, I’ve got a low mileage early 1.6 and keep meaning to sell it then I drive it and love it’s nippy handling and don’t sell it 🤔.

This is one of the last SLi-badged Rovers before Rover started fixing just '200' badges on the tailgates. This white SLi is amazing, just as I remember them when they were everywhere. Would Allegro Mann be allowed to work his magic on Dented Doris?

Very good example I had a Rover 200 sli it was a good machine. But unfortunately the body let go😊
