Thoresby Hall - 30 08 21

A couple of pics from a local show I went to.

A few people asked about it, I have a feeling a lot of the younger ones possibly didn't know what it was?

Great pics there Chris! Many youngsters have no idea what a Rover 800 is, the most they know is the 25, 45 and 75 and even then usually only by their MG counterparts of ZR, ZS and ZT designations.

That said, go back 15-20 years and there were 800s everywhere, ignoring the one parked on your drive, when did you last see one? When i use mine, even though it's slightly cosmetically challenged in a few areas (flaking lacquer) people will often stop and reminisce about ittrying to remember when they last saw one. Most can't remember!
Cheers,
Dave

Oddly only a few months back one drove round the block where I live. Nightfire red too, not mine though.

I only even spotted it due to checking my CCTV, it happened to be in shot at that specific time. What's the chances of that?

Before that, hard to say. A good while for sure.

Thank you for the pictures

I see regulary a 825 d on the road from my home to my office, and I saw 3 or 4 800 on the road since I bought mine 3 years ago, and this in France.
