Mr Chipsticks ◊ 2012-02-27 03:38	As this is the stretched version of the 800, this would most definiately be an 827, any stretched/limo versions were always a V6.

dsl ◊ 2012-03-25 04:50	More info at http://www.rover800.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8771 , including an 825 now in eastern Germany with pics, and for Sandie a couple of thumbs of a (normal wheelbase) Tickford.
Mr Chipsticks ◊ 2012-03-25 22:30	dsl wrote But it has an 820 number ..... The DVLA didnt issue numbers to Rover according to thier spec/engine size, so a Rover 820 didnt neccessarily receive an '820' plate, I've seen 820s with '827' and '825' in the plate and vice-versa... Startins and other limo/strech 800 cars were always V6s. -- Last edit: 2012-03-25 22:30:55
