This Rover L.S 200 Coupeis a working class hero, it offers up superb perfomance even in it's small 1.6 16v unit which can embarrass much bigger engined cars.
The handling was good although in early models especially the turbo even with a torsen slip-diff it was a handfull with it's aggressive torque steer, but that's expected of a car of this nature.
If you are looking to purchase one theses coupes as i've owned a few myself i highly recommend it as they offer trouble free motoring and a trully wonderful coupe for the weekend. VVC is pick of the bunch, all the performance without the drawbacks.

I think personally the vvc engine is probably one of the best engines around. Also I think the Tomcat is the best car Rover ever made.
I am on my sixth Tomcat now I have had a turbo jap spec three 1600 k series one Honda and my current R reg vvc.

I have owned six coupes now. A turbo {jap spec} a 1600 Honda 3 1600 K series and a 1800 vvc. They have all been fantastic cars. They have all been reliable apart from a couple of head gaskets.

I have owned two Rover Coupes now in the space of 2 yrs my first was a 1600 coupe and my second and present coupe is a vvc (Variable Valve Control). Basically an EMS computer sends data to the extra large camshaft enabling it to stay open longer allowing the car to accelerate extremely fast in no time these engines are unbelievably quick!
These cars look great and will certainly be a future classic! The removable glass roof is fun and when removed can be housed in the boot in designated bags for safe storage! My car has half leather Recaro seats front and rear with climate control.
