Re: 1982 Rover 3500 V8 Vanden Plas automatic.

Thanks Lodein! This winter i took the chance to take on a big project. Respray/restore the Rover SD1 Vanden Plas! People who know my SD1 know that it was a pretty well sorted car. Fresh, good running and enjoyed! But it had 50 shades of red. Besides that, there was some rust spots here and there, so...

Re: 1982 Rover 3500 V8 Vanden Plas automatic.

Thanks guys!! Haha luckily it is the right way up Dave. :D
It was a strange moment to drill holes indeed. But, then again, you can't really make a big mistake because the spoiler hides the holes.

Hey that is also a smart way to do it Dave!

Thanks again! :D

Re: 1982 Rover 3500 V8 Vanden Plas automatic.

We enjoy living in our new area very much. Driving around and attending meetings. I took the 3500 Vanden Plas to a little meeting in a town nearby: https://i.postimg.cc/7Yc4HFdv/IMG-20231001-151342-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/ZK0ZhbfF/IMG-20231001-151337-2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/v80MjgvZ/IMG-202310...

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic

Took the 827 Vitesse to a small car event.

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic

Thank you very much for the pictures and the video. Clearly, I dont really like Japonese cars. There are many designs that I like (240 Z, CRX, 300 ZX, MX5...), but in general the interior disappoints me. Concerning the engines I prefer a 3.5l V8 which produces 200 hp than a 2l 4 cylinders which als...

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic

Oh the Japan meet caused quite a stir here. Haha. Yes I was the only Rover there. People were surprised and impressed by the Vitesse. :) And it is indeed special to see what time has done to some cars now. Every day motors from back in the day are now more rare than a Ferrari. Check it out! Cool vid...

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic

I took my Rover 827 Vitesse to Japan Classic Sunday! To be sure i contacted the organisation if i was allowed on the event. Because of the joint venture between Rover and Honda it was allowed! :) Met up with friends who drove in their Mazda MX5: https://i.postimg.cc/vTJk51P4/IMG-20230702-073811.jpg ...
