Amazing as it seems, the Rover Cabriolet really did live on to 1999.了不起好像真的活孚cabriolet1999. Based on the Series II Rover 200, which in turn was based on the Honda Ballade, the Cabriolet always needed a refracting telescope to spot the cutting edge, but it was nevertheless an amiable mode of perambulation.基于罗孚200系列二,这反过来是基于本田丽泰、cabriolet永远需要的折射望远镜发现了前端,但尽管如此亲切模式勘查. Given that most cabriolet owners are undemanding sorts, can a used Rover ragtop be forgiven its somewhat antiquated underpinnings?鉴于大部分业主cabriolet一般化的那样,可以用一个漫游ragtop原谅自己有点过时依据? It certainly makes more sense as a used buy than it ever did new?当然更明智的利用比以往任何新买?
HISTORY历史
The 200 series was originally launched in October 1989 in five-door form, the cabriolet model being subsequently introduced back in October 1992.200系列原本于1989年10月在五门形式随后推出的cabriolet模式早在1992年10月. Based on Honda Concerto underpinnings, the 200 series was the result of one of the more successful alliances Rover forged, and was viewed by many industry observers as the car that saved Rover.基于本田协奏曲依据,200系列是由于其中较成功结成联盟孚、许多观察家认为,随着汽车业,节省漫游. In 1995/96 it was replaced by an all-new model which subsequently was developed into the much better known Rover 25.1995/1996但取而代之的一个全新的型号,后来发展成为更清楚罗孚25. At the same time, the 200 Series Tourer, Coupe and Cabriolet were retained, but were shorn of their ?200?在此同时,200系列tourer、采伐、cabriolet被保留下来,但其进?200? designation in order to differentiate them from the newer, rounded model.为了区分他们指定的更新,四舍五入模式.
The Cabriolet gained a new dashboard and a 111bhp K-series engine, launched in two trim levels, standard and SE.cabriolet有了新的仪表板和111bhp的K系列发动机,推出两个层次修剪、标准和硒. A version with a stepless CVT gearbox was also launched, but these remain a rare sight on British roads.一版无级变速变速箱也具有无级发射,但这些难得的景象依然对英国的道路.

WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The Rover Cabriolet is something of an oddity.罗孚cabriolet已作古的怪胎. It?s not sufficiently stylish to rival the admittedly more expensive Peugeot 306 Cabriolet, but it has a relaxed personality that makes it a refreshingly mature alternative to the increasingly hard-edged convertibles that were borne from the roadster boom of the mid-nineties.?收盘不够气派媲美更为昂贵标致306cabriolet诚然,但也有轻松的个性,轻松清新的日趋成熟另类硬边convertibles被传染的跑车轰的九十年代中期. Whereas sport-oriented Rover buyers opted for the MGF, the Rover Cabriolet was left to plough a mellower furrow, thus ensuring that few used examples will have been thrashed to within an inch of their lives.而运动型买家选择的函数孚、孚cabriolet留给了芬芳犁沟、从而保证将一直很少用实例研讨,以自己的生命在一寸.

The hood itself is manual in the standard model and electric in the SE, but neither version is particularly slick.盖本身也是手册的标准模型和电动硒,但也不是特别版滑头.

Little of this will matter if you buy the Rover for the long term.这事如果你现在很少买罗孚的长远发展. It was never particularly modern in the first place, so it?s best to think of it as the fast track to entertainingly nostalgic obsolescence.尤其是现代从不摆在首位,所以?收盘觉得是最好的跑道至entertainingly怀旧陈旧. Viewed in this manner, it has a certain period charm that shouldn?t really appeal in a car built as recently as 1999 but somehow manages to worm its way into your affections.从这个地有一段时间,不应当魅力?笔真的上诉建成近99年的汽车而勉强地走入你情蠕虫.

ON THE ROAD 在路上
Treat the Rover Cabriolet as a cut-price entry into the Alfa GTV Spider league and reality will land on you rather abruptly.对待流浪cabriolet作为压价入α环球电视台联赛与现实蜘蛛而你会突然降落.
