Marc are you a member of the Rover sd1 club? They have quite an active forum if you ever need parts or advice.

I love SD1's, I have two! Oporto red is such a great colour too especially with a pale interior.

Re: Mk1 827 Si Saloon

Yes. The only other difference is that the rear should have had square corners but mine are slightly rounded, so if you do get some make sure you ask for that.

Very happy. I tried fancyplates.com as recommende...

More bits to bolt or double sided sticky tape on!

Number plates, made to replicate the originals. Special sizes and with the Rover badge and BS AU 145a on them.

Re: Mk1 827 Si Saloon

That's great Steve, thanks.

I'm interested to see what the new filler neck is like, as it doesn't have beaded ends to any of the pipes. It should be ok as none of these connectors are under high pressure.

Re: Mk1 827 Si Saloon

Re: Mk1 827 Si Saloon

I did some more tinkering over the easter weekend. My aim was to sort the brakes, as i have now collected the majority of the parts. However i got side tracked but other things. First off i lost half of Saturday morning going to look at a potential donor car on ebay. Steve (Rovercoup) spotted it on ...

Re: Mk1 827 Si Saloon

Thanks for the comments. Yes the prestige wheels are on matts 827sli. They are the rare 16" version. I think the larger diameter wheels really suit the 800. I'm tempted to fit some later 17" Vitesse sport alloys. I like the look of those on the mk1 saloon. Marc, yes I saw your stunning vitesse at th...
