Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic

Hi all, Today i took my Rover 827 Vitesse out for his last drive of this year. First drove so that it was nice up to temperature, then i washed him again, filled up the tank, pumped up the tires to higher pressure and greased the rubber seals and the tyres. Battery taken out and of course, a detaile...

Re: red 1 still going (just)

Great that you keep this lovely motor on the road. Nice to read that you maintain her wel and have a attention to detail. :) I would say it should be a bit higher in value for the insurance. You will not find another one fast. My 827 Vitesse was valued by a classic car person for 8.500 euro's (insur...

Re: 1982 Rover 3500 V8 Vanden Plas automatic.

35 is still pretty young i agree. ;) You are as old as you feel Dave. ;) :) i know what you mean Dave. Especially in rush hour there are more plonkers on the road. I am lucky i don't have to drive in rush hour but only drive my cars when i am not in hurry. If i would be driving in rush hour i would ...

Re: 1982 Rover 3500 V8 Vanden Plas automatic.

If you two are old and crumpy. :P Remember i am still wet behind the ears (26 yo) and drive very calmly in traffic. ;) Most people drive oke but after a day of driving you tend to forget the hundreds of people who were oke and remember those 5 who were not. Traffic just becomes more full and people ...

Re: 1993 Rover 827 Si automatic

Yes indeed. It probably goes back to the 'old money' period. Those times were different. Thanks for the info in regards to DS420 production! I mentioned the Rolls Royce because my friend also has a Rolls Royce (1936) and that one originally had posh cloth and no leather in it. The rear seats are ori...

Re: 1993 Rover 827 Si automatic

Not as old indeed. :P I like those cars. Ah yes, i can see what you mean here. Strange that the driver is treated less than the person in the back. A friend of mine had a creme one for his wedding car business. In later years of these cars they were made by British Leyland i believe? That same frien...
