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.

I do miss having a coupe.... but they will always have a little space in my heart

Fantastic to see

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.

If the right one came up, I would make it mine...

That's a nice sight, I bet the twisty roads were fun.

It was brilliant Andy.The lead coupe had a rear facing video camera attached to the roof so when the footage gets posted I'll transfer it onto here

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...

Great video there, Mick. I will do my hardest to make sure I attend the next one. I should have my coupe back by then...
