Rare beast that one.

[YZ250]

I think I've found TB's new car!     It might need a bit of a polish though.   

Ah, that takes me back, Rover 820 Fastback.    The sales figures of this vehicle, and other 800’s, were badly hampered by the popularity of …….. the Vauxhall Omega.

I had an 827 Vitesse with the Honda V6 in it, cracking car which I miss a lot.

From my experience of driving them in the early 90's, if you drove one now, you may not miss it quite as much as you think...

in my opinion, the best rovers were the 6 series. We had a 623SLi, with the 2.3 Honda engine, so much low down grunt.

I was once lent one as a courtesy car ..... my undying memory of it was its turning circle. The Amoco Cadiz could have made a smaller U turn! And also its massive understeer!

I had three of them in total, 1st was 825 Sterling which was under powered,2nd was 827sli auto which is still on the road and the Vitesse was the last one but that was a manual

Thrown together by bone idle communists. 

Harsh, but true.

The Swindon built cars were probably ok.

Chap round the corner from me has for some years  been running an Ambassador 2.0 HL and has recently bought a R reg Rover 800(it's the MKII version) to go with it. As he backs it onto his drive I've not yet seen what engine/spec it is.
