Newbie in Bristol with Rover 220 GTi

Post by jol »

Hi Everyone,

I've just bought a 1991 Rover 220 GTi in Flame red and my plan is to keep it standard and use it occasionally during the summer months.

Thanks

I see it's gone west - in the best sense - from our Lincolnshire hot-spot to the Bristol one!
Good to see it's with a trustworthy custodian.

Thanks for your messages everybody and thank you for fixing the photo.

The car was originally supplied by Connell Cars in Cobham, Surrey and stayed with the first owner in the Leatherhead area until sold in 2013.

I'm currently trying to source a 1991 dealer brochure but struggling to find one including the 220 GTI model.

More photos to follow in the spring when I start to use the car again!
