A not so common sight.
It's rare to spot a Rover 200 coupe on the road these days but I was fortunate enough to see 14 of them together on Saturday at the RCOC Christmas meet.Yes I know it's mid January but that is when it is held each year :}.About half of us met up earlier at a cafe on the A45 in Wawickshire followed by a spirited 35 mile thrash in covoy through the country lanes of Warwickshire/Northamptonshire where we rendezviewed with the rest at the Green Man pub near Silverstone.
Here are a few pic's of the meet. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4621/...efc2797e_c.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4619/...00be5a73_c.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4622/...0e40bd47_c.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4604/...612901c3_c.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4695/...3efe349c_c.jpg |
I do miss having a coupe.... but they will always have a little space in my heart :)

Fantastic to see :D I luv these cars.
I've actually never owned a 200 Coupe, and I dont really understand why. I must have missed the boat at some point. I would have been wrapped up in the Japanese imported stuff I guest. :shrug: If the right one came up, I would make it mine... :D |
That's a nice sight, I bet the twisty roads were fun.

Great pictures, Mick. Sorry I couldn’t make it. I should be at POL. Hopefully, once Jimm is done with mine, I’ll have my coupe back later this year. I do miss driving her...:(

First was a Silver 216 coupe (K series), my 2nd was an Amaranth 218VVC ('99 T plate) with full leather. Lovely cars, especially with the roof panels removed. The VVC used to shift and handle well, was lovely to drive - on a smooth road. Not the greatest on rough roads as they were rather stiffly sprung. I'd always liked the look of them and wanted one. Still like the look of them. |
Great photos. I loved my VVC Coupe and it's probably the car I wish the most I had kept.

I think I am safely past that stage now having owned it for 18 years :D |
There’s a few convertibles which was based on the Coupe in Malta.
I had a Saloon version a few years back, the model code was R8. Used before Audi used it on their sports coupe. |
