Stroke 28 - My cars (4), Rover 416 GTI




Another car that was been in my garage for a few years, and now, comes to the blog.


As I not find the technical drawings of this model, the basis for the modeling was a Honda Concerto, in the background is almost the same car, but without the refinement of the British model.


Basically it was modeled the Honda and then adapted the details, like the line from the rear, the bumpers, side skirts and rear wing.


The photomontage of this model is different from what I usually present, instead of being inserted in an environment, is part of a historic poster and intended to be a small tribute to the missing brand (now the name belongs to Tata).


The Rover 416 GTI was an infernal machine with a Honda engine too rotary, 7.200 rpm and 130 hp, it also came well equipped, much above average.

Here is the usual video made in SketchUp.

  1. Hi, this is great! Any chance you could share a link to download? I had a 414 a long time ago and have fond memories of that car.
