I have had to admit that I have have an itch for a manual 800 Coupe turbo (or Vitesse ) in BRG to complete the set. It will involve me getting rid of one of my other non rover cars but I'll just post this to tempt fate... From AR Online: In addition, the two-door coupe could now be specified with th...
