The Rover 200 and 400 series, leading up to the year 1995, were significant players in the British compact car market. Introduced initially in late 1989 as a replacement for both the Austin Maestro and Montego, these models marked a move towards more upscale vehicles within their segment. The cars were developed during Rover's partnership with Honda; hence they shared many components with the Japanese firm's Concerto model. This collaboration was instrumental in elevating build quality and reliability standards - a stark contrast to some of Rover's earlier offerings.
By this time, the range had expanded beyond its initial hatchback form to include saloons (introduced in early 1990) and estates (branded as Tourers) which broadened its appeal significantly among buyers looking for practicality without sacrificing style or comfort.
Underneath their refined exteriors lay a choice of engines including efficient K-series petrol units alongside robust L-series diesels that provided commendable fuel economy figures against rising petrol costs at that time. Throughout their production run into mid-90s Britain, these vehicles continued receiving updates such as improved safety features which reflected consumer demand while retaining an air of traditional British automotive design values that many drivers had come to appreciate from Rover Group products.

Rimmer Bros, established in 1982, is a British company supporting British cars. The Rimmer Bros service is hard to beat: we have the parts, we guarantee the quality, we're keen on price, we deliver fast, we know your car.
As the British motor industry contracted, Rimmer Bros expanded to ensure the continued maintenance, restoration and enjoyment of many beloved classic cars no longer supported by their original makers. Our support, starting strongly with Triumph, extended to include Rover SD1 models in the 1990s, and later expanded to cover Land Rover and Range Rover models, reaching up to the present day. In 2005, our commitment grew to encompass more modern MG-Rover cars and by 2012 we further extended our range to include Jaguar models from 1996 onwards. This growth reflects our dedication to serving the diverse community of classic and modern British car enthusiasts.
We are proud to have British Motor Heritage Approval for our Triumph, MG, Mini and Rover SD1 parts operation. First appointed in 1987, Heritage Approval acknowledges the highest possible standards of service, product knowledge, financial stability and well-equipped premises. We always carry a wide range of Heritage Original Equipment parts in stock.
