The Rover 800 Series, launched in 1986, was a significant step forward for the British marque, aiming to compete in the burgeoning executive car market. The 825, powered by a 2.5-liter V6 engine, was the flagship model of the initial range. It was a spacious and comfortable saloon, offering a refined driving experience for its time. The 800 Series was notable for its innovative monocoque chassis, designed by Honda, which provided a smooth and quiet ride. The car's stylish design, with its distinctive grille and sleek lines, was a departure from the more conservative Rovers of the past. It also featured a range of luxury features, including leather upholstery, electric windows, and air conditioning, making it a desirable option for discerning drivers.

While initially well-received, the 800 Series faced challenges. Production was plagued by issues, leading to quality control problems and reliability concerns. Honda's involvement, which provided crucial technical expertise, was ultimately withdrawn, leaving Rover to manage the model on its own. Despite these challenges, the 800 Series remained a popular choice for many years, particularly in the UK market. The car was praised for its comfort, performance, and value for money. It underwent several revisions during its production run, including the introduction of new engines, improved transmissions, and styling updates. Despite its discontinuation in 1999, the 800 Series remains a significant vehicle in Rover's history, representing an ambitious attempt to compete in the premium car segment.
