Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
@Dave: haha yes I think they did. Good one! Thank you. I am happy with the result.
Hey, that is a good tip. I did not use this method. I think it to far down the door. Quite hard to get something in there I think. But I will keep in in mind thank you!
@ Manalishi: thank you so much for that!
@ Fastback: thanks!!

Very good job Marc

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
I've always liked the visual effect a coachline has of "breaking up" the "solid slab" of the sides of a car, often makes it look lower and longer. All to do with how the eyes and brain function apparently but i know little to nothing of such things but coachlines work for me!

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
After the work on the old girl it was time for the cherrys on the cake. I ordered a new bonnet emblem because i wanted to be sure it would be in the correct place and i did not want to mess around with glue etc. A Dutch Rover dealer had new ones in stock so i was a very happy boy!
The right, rear door was treated with cavity wax, cleaned, old sealer removed, parts greased and properly closed of with fresh sealer (black seal):
After this i washed the Rover again and applied a fresh coat of wax. I also cleaned the interior. Last weekend we wanted to go to visit friends far away and we decided to take the Vitesse. Great weather!
As always, took the chance to take some pictures:
When we drove back in the evening the sunset gave some nice colours:
At night time the speed limit is raised in The Netherlands so i made the Vitesse name proud! After this we felt the old girl deserved a drink:
My goodness we love this car!

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Thanks for these beautiful pictures of your beautiful car
At night time the speed limit is raised in The Netherlands. Is it true or it is a joke ?

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
I wondered the same! Is that right Marc, the speed limits are raised after dark and if so, to what speed?

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Thanks guys!
Nope, that is not a joke. Between 0700 and 1900 you cannot exceed 100 kph and outside those times you have a limit of 130 kph on the motorway. Except when 100 is stated on signs.

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Wish we had increased speed limits during off-peak travel times!
Motorways and dual carriageways (2-lane each way motorways basically) are 70mph (110kmh) unless otherwise stated, increasing the limit to 130kmh would be ~85mph for us which would be a bonus.

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
A day after the MOT of the 3500 it was the turn of my 827. MOT was achieved without any fuss. This week, the old girl turned 33 yo!
This week the magazine arrived containing the test between a Saab 9000 Turbo and my Rover 827 Vitesse!
Journalist is Jeroen Ekeler and the photographer is Arno Lingerak! Arno Arno made some great pictures:

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Congratulations on the MoT pass Marc! Given the attention you lavish on your cars it's no surprise but nice to hear anyway!
Some good pics there as well, you have some competition for making great pics!

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic
Great news on the MOT, and nice looking article.
What was their verdict on the road test, or do I dare not find out?

Congratulation for the MOT for this car too.
Beautiful first page of the magazine for your car.
I will be very interested in the conclusion of the article, and thank you for the beautiful photos
