1997 Rover - Austin 200 Coupe 218 VVC review from UK and Ireland
"Good looking value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust gasket in the second week.
General comments?
The later Coupe with the improved interior is better, the build quality is improved also.
A distictive looker with all the toys, VVC is great engine with performance and economy, very good 2nd hand buy at £7000 on a P.
Underrated coupe, low running costs, looks better than Calibras, Escorts, and others.
