Henrik! Yes i am crazy! See you in Hjo this year?

As soon i get more information about the car i will post it here!

Henrik my 827 Sterling and my coupé are parked in a chicken barn in Scania. My garage in Gothenburg are still being repaired after the big fire 2011. I only got two garage spaces at the moment. I hope i will be able to get my 800s back to Gothenburg after the summer so i can post some pictures.

Adding some more pictures.

The Car was first owned by Austin Rover Company. A district Manager at the Austin Rover Company in Kent used it, so it wasn´t a car at the Rover factory.

Some more pictures.

Your wife must really love you! ;)

Anders, how is the car running compared to your 820 coupe? Are there any distinct differences?

Henrik! I havn´t yet driven the car. Only bought it! It stands in the back of a chicken barn in Scania and I hope to be able to drive it to Gothenburg in the autumn.

I bought the car from the treasurer in the Rover Club of Sweden.

Perhaps i will drive the car to Hjo this year. But then i need to be lucky with my garage spaces.

My wife still loves my (I think/hope).
