I have the newspaper and I read it several times !!!

I like the article :D and it is a good article for the Rover 827i Sterling. The journalist wrote exactly what he had tell me.
He has really appreciat the Rover (Chassis balance, comfort, interior atmosphere, equipment, engine -performance, sound-...) and even certain faults that I found in my car were not for him (air noise above 100 km/h, locking of the gearbox is firm, but he wrote this faults in the § of my interview :( ) he has just notifies rough assembly (glove box cover and roof lining -which is present on my car but that I forgot !!! because it is my car, love make you blind !!! and it is light on my car) , that the front's car looks like a Renault 21 phase 2, and that the braking is powerful but requiring press the pedal well.

The pictures are beautiful except the bigest on 2 pages which are offset and not the same colour on the 2 pages :( .
I told the journalist to speak about the forum, but he didn't do it :( (He did it for the french forum I frequent)

In this journal, there is a article wrote by a old journalist about his old tries of one of the car present in the newspaper, and it is on the Rover 800.
So there is 7 pages on the Rover 800 in this newspaper :D

Just a picture of the double pages which started the article

Very nice Stephan! I've also noticed the similarity to the R21 and in fact, the Mk2 800s with front fog lights shared those with the R21 and also R5 GT Turbo. That said, the R21 was launched in 1986 as were the 800 and sister car, the Honda/Acura Legend and the tendency at the time was for saloons with high boot lines - witness the Montego, Volvo 700 series, Ford Sierra Sapphire, Pegueot 405/Citroen Xantia and similar although the front lights could alter the initial perception considerably. Adding a tailgate created yet more models although Ford did it in reverse and removed the tailgate from the Mk3/4 Escort to create a high booted saloon aka the Orion.

Looking forward to seeing some pages from the article! :wink: :D
Cheers,
Dave

I can't put the article on this post by ethics, but if you send me your email by PM, I can send it, and of course, I can do it for anyone who wants, but it's of course in French !!!

It had been a long time, almost 2 months, since I had driven the Rover. So last night after a big wash, a long trip home from work.
Of course some pictures...

Effectively Dave, two months is too long (I had the battery low, and I started with a booster), but normaly I drove my cars every 3 weeks / one month.
But with my holiday, my weekend at Le Mans Classic, and the very high temperature (And the Airconditionning out of order in the Rover, and not in the others...) he tooks me 2 month before driving the Rover...

Sounds like you need to fix the AC on the Rover Stephan! The irony for me is the Rover is the only car with working AC (although it needs a new compressor clutch bearing) and it's the only car i can't use! :roll:

There's a hole in one of the Jag AC pipes and the previous owner of the Volvo had the evaporator removed :roll: :roll: :roll: - although i have another in place now, i haven't got round to sorting the AC on it yet.
Cheers,
Dave
