The Rover 214 and 414 were compact cars produced by the British automotive manufacturer Rover Group from 1989 to 1996. They were the successors to the Rover 200 series and were built on a shortened version of the Honda Concerto platform, a testament to the collaborative relationship between the two companies at the time. The 214 was offered with a 1.4-liter K-series engine, while the 414 featured a larger 1.6-liter version of the same engine. Both models were available in a range of body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and a saloon. While the 214/414 shared many components with the Honda Concerto, they were distinct vehicles with their own design touches and styling cues, including a more rounded and aerodynamic body shape and a distinctive Rover grille. The cars offered a comfortable and spacious interior, as well as a well-balanced ride and handling, making them popular choices for both family car buyers and younger drivers.

The Rover 214 and 414 were known for their reliability and fuel efficiency. They were also relatively affordable to purchase and maintain, making them attractive options in the competitive compact car segment. However, the cars were not without their quirks. Some owners reported issues with the K-series engine, particularly in terms of head gasket failures. The cars' electrical systems could also be prone to problems, and their suspension was not as sophisticated as some of their competitors. Despite these shortcomings, the Rover 214 and 414 remained popular during their production run and continue to be favored by enthusiasts today. Their combination of practicality, affordability, and British charm has ensured their lasting legacy, and the Workshop Service Repair Manual for these models provides a valuable resource for owners and mechanics alike, offering step-by-step guidance for all aspects of maintenance and repair.
