In December 1994 the revised R6 model appeared. In the United Kingdom, Rover finally scrapped the Metro nameplate, replacing it with a new name, Rover 100, which had been adopted on continental Europe on the Rover Metro's launch in 1990, due to the weakness of the Austin marque in Europe.
The mechanics of the car remained much the same with 1.1 and 1.4 petrol engines and Hydragas suspension, but there was now the option of a Peugeot-sourced 1.5 diesel rather than the previous 1.4. The exterior was altered in an attempt to disguise the car's age, meet the increased cooling requirements of the Peugeot motor and offer a reduced-format Rover family grille. This was achieved through fitment of new front and rear bumpers, sill covers, rear boot handle and headlamps, bonnet and grille.
This example was registered to the supplying dealer Sewards (Havant) Ltd, and then on 29 April 1997 at 5 miles to Mrs Agnes Bang. She owned the car until her death in 2012, and it was then registered to her husband Mr Christian Bang who hardly used it, eventually selling it to the vendor earlier this year. The car comes with the original purchase invoice, history file, and original Rover brochure. The vendor states that the car is good all round, as one would expect for a car of this mileage garaged for most of its life.
