Following the first public showing of the 200 BRM at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show, Rover launched the car in October 1998.

These are small, light and perform like a proper hot hatch should.

With a limited run of 795 cars produced for the U.K. market, these are currently incredibly affordable.

A really fun and interesting car. While they are so affordable most will be run into the ground, modified and/or crashed!

The time is right to buy a low mileage one to keep and use sparingly.
