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!!!

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: Scuttle panel, the metal full width one
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...
