This high performance version of the family run-about used a "Chrysler-BRM" 1600cc Avenger engine. The BRM conversion used a 16-valve alloy head operated by chain drive twin cams.

The engine capacities were 1598cc and also 1798cc & 2000cc (which gave 205bhp). The car gave Chrysler/Hillman a package powerful enough to compete in rallying. Production of the car ran between 1974 and 1977.

The road car, a special edition based on the Rover 200 / 25 range, was first publicly shown as a concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1997 and was expected to be sold at around priced at £18,000 on the road.
The three door hatch-back became available in April 1998 at about £14,000. Originally the model was to be a special edition of 750 but finally a little over one thousand were produced. UK sales amounted to 795 units. The Belgian market was allocated 50 cars.

The BRM model was given stiffer springs, lowered suspension, alloy 16 inch wheels and a Torsen limited slip differential. Gearing changes giving a close ratio gearbox encoraged the top end of the 1.8 VVC 143hp. rev range to be used.

The cars were painted "Brooklands Green" with chrome trim and a BRM "dayglow" orange nose. The interior was fitted with red leather and aluminium.
