1997 Rover 100 Ascot

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at CarFest 2026 on Saturday the 29th of August and Sunday the 30th of August at The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN.

Introduced in the mid-1990s as the successor to the long-running Metro, the Rover 100 represents the final chapter in Rover's small car production and is an increasingly uncommon 1990s supermini.

Powered by Rover's lively 1.1-litre K-Series engine producing 55bhp, it drives the front wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox.

Finished in Nightfire Red, this Ascot model presents in attractive period specification and has been part of a private collection, benefiting from careful storage in a purpose-built facility.

It appears to retain its original factory specification throughout, offering an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire an unmodified, low-mileage example.

The car displays just 20,969 miles at the time of cataloguing, with very few registered keepers from new.

It is supplied with a current MOT valid until March 2027.

A simple, lightweight, and engaging modern classic, the Rover 100 is becoming increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts of the marque.

Offered without reserve, it presents an accessible entry into modern classic ownership.
