Built to commemorate the championship winning F1 team, but not in the way you might think...
The Rover 200 had all the ingredients to become a proper hot hatch when it was relaunched as conventional, two-box hatchback in the mid-1990s. Tipping the scales at just over a tonne and packing a range of revvy K-Series engines, it looked as though Rover was in with a shout of something properly enthusiast focused beyond the wood trim and staid styling.
Rover did, however, have a stab at building a hot hatch in the late 90s using the 200 as a basis - it just didn’t make many of them. It was called the 200 BRM LE and, yes, it’s named after the championship winning Formula 1 team of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and wears the badges to prove it. And that’s a bit odd because Rover had nothing to do with the F1 team in its heyday.
