Rover 100 1998 - GSi 5-Door

Insurance Group 11, Offered for sale is this remarkably well-preserved example of a fast-disappearing modern classic: the Rover 114 GSi. Finished in its original vibrant red with colour-coded bumpers and five-spoke alloy wheels, this charming five-door hatchback has covered just 15,881 miles from new and presents in time-warp condition throughout.Powered by the lively 1.4-litre K-Series engine mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, the GSi was the range-topping variant in the Metro/100-series line-up—offering a refined drive with a touch of sporting character. The drivetrain feels responsive and eager, delivering a delightfully analogue driving experience that's becoming increasingly rare.The interior remains original and unspoilt, trimmed in patterned grey velour with matching door cards and carpets. Everything from the dash to the door pulls feels exactly as it did in period, complete with the wood veneer inserts and factory-fitted Rover stereo. Twin manual sunroofs add an extra element of nostalgia, while the low mileage is evident in the crisp condition of the upholstery and switchgear.Mechanically standard and unmodified, the car starts and runs effortlessly, with a tidy engine bay that reflects its careful ownership. This example is a true survivor—an honest, low-mileage British city car from the 1990s that feels as fresh today as it did when it left the showroom.Supplied with its original handbooks, MOT history and keys, this Rover 114 GSi is perfect for a collector, enthusiast, or anyone seeking a fun and affordable entry into classic motoring. Whether you're looking to relive a past era or simply enjoy one of the last true British hatchbacks in near-original condition, this is an opportunity not to miss.
