Jees Marc, this car is so mint it's almost painful! What a terrific job you are doing to it. It must be one of the best looking 827 Vitesses around!

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Sorry for my late response!
@ Dave: Thank you Dave! It is a nice article i agree!
@ Manalishi: Thank you so much for you great compliment! Very kind of you. I have to be honest though. A lot of credit has to go to the previous owner who looked after it the first 20 years of its life. I just do my best on improving it and let my OCD take the better of me haha. Thanks again!
Thanks again to you Dave!

Cars can easily go downhill if they're not continually cared for Marc so it's a huge credit to you that you are keeping them as well if not better than the previous owner!

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Exactly what Dave wrote so you have every reason to be proud of your car. And we all know how much love and care you have put into it. Absolute mint!

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Marc, may I ask, what finish is your rear spoiler? Is it the same colour as the car and is the finish flat or gloss? I saw a picture where it looks very gloss and in the same colour as the car and another where it felt more flat, even black/Darker grej? The reason I ask is as I need to look at my own, and as the car is black it could be either.

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
MOT time today for my 827 Vitesse! It passed with flying colours.
Took the chance to take some pictures of course!
Quite happy with all the work done this winter.

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
The day after the achieved MOT, i treated my 827 Vitesse with new engine oil and oil filter.

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Mann filters are a good choice Marc, is there somewhere you could get a genuine Honda filter though? I can find a part number for you, they seem better constructed than Mann and my Sterling seems happier on them.
Price difference is negligible so i'll be looking for a Honda filter again next time i do an oil/filter change on my Sterling, probably around autumn time.
*** EDIT ***
Oil filter part numbers if you want to use Honda filters :
Honda P/No 15400-PL2-505 or H15400PCX004
First number is often marketed as fitting the early NSX, second number is the later part number.
