Re: Rover 820 Vitesse Sport Lux Gold

Just done some quick maths. I have spent £480 on parts for this car so far, and that doesnt include the refurbished radiator!!!

R960 It should say it on the red lettering at the top there .

There is also a R950 with only 5 preset buttons instead of 6

There was a R750 but i think that may have been without the CD funtion
Just checked and your right it is an R960. Anyone got one in working order with the code?

Re: Scuttle panel, the metal full width one

This is the stereo I need. I think its an R750, but importantly it says CD controller across the top. I think there were other similar looking units but that couldn't control the CD player.

Re: Rover 820 Vitesse Sport Lux Gold

This evening I started cleaning up the engine bay, doing the areas I couldn't get to with the jet was. I used more Gunk and then neat petrol with rags. Smelt lovely! https://i.imgur.com/hJtbVOq.jpg Hammered out all of the remaining core plugs. That make 6 in total. 2 at the front, 4 at the rear. I t...

Whereabouts are you based? I'm in Manchester/Stockport, and have a couple of scuttle panels - but transport will be a bit of an issue!
I’m in the south east! Bummer. I occasionally travel up your way so will keep you in mind. Don’t suppose you are going to the Peterborough show on Sunday?

Re: Scuttle panel, the metal full width one

Can't help with the first two, might have a steering wheel though. As for the gearknob, this was covered in another thread some time back and from what i remember, the Rover ones are NLA at Rimmers, secondhand ones are scarce (especially in good condition) so what most people have done is used ebay...

Re: Rover 820 Vitesse Sport Lux Gold

Continued the derust and paint session. I also degreased a whole load of the engine covers etc. They were well caked in engine oil. I put them in a big plastic tub and set to work with the Gunk. Good stuff that. https://i.imgur.com/Y05j3GX.jpg https://i.imgur.com/hgGWJVW.jpg This is the small metal ...

Re: Rover 820 Vitesse Sport Lux Gold

Wow this is awesome!! How did i miss this. Hows the 827SI?, i was going through countryclassics old cars last night and saw your SI that they sold. It’s still in the field shelter feeling unloved. It needs a respect but I’m reluctant to do that as it’s a lot of money and the car will still be worth...
