My 1990 Rover 216 GTi has this Philips radio-Cassette fitted.
I have the original operating booklet too, if you need it.
Radio has a 4 digit security code,make sure you get that too.

That looks like a R681 radio cassette produced by Philips.

Was an option on R8 Rover 200's and 400's back in 1990 (and standard fit on the 416Gti).

Could possibly be an option on the previous SD3 Rover 200's. They may also have been fitted with the R570 or R670 radio cassettes. :)
