1120cc, manual. This Rover 100 Ascot, finished in Kingfisher Blue and affectionately known as “Rio”, is one of the last 200 built. It comes with 5 new tyres, a new exhaust, new battery and a recent service. We're told the wheel arches were renewed in 2023, and the latest MoT (passed with zero advisories) lasts until 26th February 2026.

The car was first registered on 23rd September 1997, and today the indicated mileage stands at 55,259. The first owner held onto it until 2024, and today the car has had two former keepers in addition to the vendor.

The history file contains the original receipt for the car in 1997, together with a partial service history, spare keys, touch-up paint, owner's handbooks, a Haynes manual, a Metro T-shirt, period sales brochure and the latest V5C in the vendor's name.
