1996 Rover 216 Cabriolet AutomaticA rare and increasingly unusual open-top Rover, offering relaxed motoring with classic British character. The Rover 216 Cabriolet represents an interesting chapter in Rover’s history, combining the familiar virtues of the marque with the added appeal of open-air motoring. Now an increasingly uncommon sight on British roads, surviving examples offer an appealing alternative to the more familiar convertibles of the period. Powered by the 1. 6-litre petrol engine and paired with an automatic gearbox, this 1996 example has covered approximately 89, 000 miles and is offered with a full 12 months’ MOT. The car is reported to run and drive well, with the automatic transmission operating smoothly. The paintwork presents well, giving the car a pleasing overall appearance, while recent attention to the braking system includes new callipers, brake cylinders and shoes. With its distinctive styling, comfortable automatic transmission and the appeal of a relatively uncommon 1990s convertible, this Rover offers an attractive opportunity for anyone seeking an affordable and characterful modern classic. A rare survivor of a period when Rover still offered something a little different, this 216 Cabriolet is an appealing prospect for the enthusiast looking for an enjoyable open-top car with genuine 1990s charm.
