1993 216 SLi auto For Sale

L156MHE Rover 216 SLI Auto

I am reluctantly reducing my collection of cars and offer for sale this prime example of a Rover 216 with the highly acclaimed Honda engine and a smooth automatic gear box.

Originally registered in September 1993 to Kenning car Rental it started off its life as a rental car until it was sold through the Rover Approved used scheme to Mr Webber of Muswell Hill London, the car still wears with pride the dealer plates and window stickers fitted in July 1994 by Palmsville Garage main Rover Dealer in north London.

During Mr Webbers ownership he maintained a journal that started on the day he collected his lovely new Rover from the supplying dealer, it contains entries including every fuel top up and expense on the car from July 1994 right through to the last time he filled the car in 2012.

During his ownership the car was used sparingly with the 2012 MOT showing only 47489 miles, its sparse usage and the fact it barely if ever left the comfort of London is apparent by the condition of the lower body and under floor with all paint and sealant exactly how it left the factory, the interior is immaculate and everything works as it should.

Following 2012 I think the car was passed to a relative of Mr Webb, unfortunately the Rover was parked up and not used until 2015 during the time from the date of issue of the previous MOT it had only covered 400 miles.

I was approached last spring to take a look at this car as the previous owner, described it as possibly something special and being a guy who knows a lot about old cars and whose opinion I value I went for a look bought it and drove 250 miles home in it I wasn’t disappointed as under all the dirt and grime there was a true diamond of a car.

After two full weeks of cleaning and polishing we got to the stage I was happy with my new addition, it has been to many shows over last summer and gets a lot of attention, intact more than my much rarer Rover Tomcat. The time has come to re-home this grand old lady as I have to be realistic with the number of cars I can actually look after.

Since 2015 this car has benefited from the following,

·   New exhaust and catalytic converter

·   Rear brakes

·   Timing belt

·   Tensioner

·   Water pump

·   Tyres

·   Head gasket and skim of head

·   New genuine Rover mats

·   New genuine wheel trims

·   Last serviced in August 2017 and had oil, all filters and sparkplugs changed since it has only done a couple of hundred miles.

As I have said earlier the body is in astounding condition no rust in any of the usual places but there is a slight dent in the driver’s door where it looks like the mirror has sprung back. The only reason I have not sorted it is I like the originality and it’s not rusting but if it was a deal breaker I would be willing to rectify this prior to sale. The spare wheel and jack also look unused, and there is a full history folder also.

Possibly more I have missed but I more than happy to answer any further questions on the details below 

Happy to put a fresh MOT on at point of sale.
