The Rover 800 series, encompassing models 820, 825, and 827, represented a significant step forward for the British automaker Rover in the mid-1980s. Launched in 1986, the 800 series aimed to compete with established European luxury saloons like the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz W124. Built upon the Honda Legend platform, the 800 series shared its underpinnings with the first-generation Acura Legend, showcasing a technological advancement for Rover. The cars were characterized by their spacious and comfortable interiors, sophisticated suspension systems, and a range of powerful engines. The 820 featured a 2.0-liter Honda-sourced engine, while the 825 and 827 boasted larger 2.5-liter and 2.7-liter V6 engines, respectively. The 800 series also offered a choice of manual or automatic transmissions, contributing to its versatility. Despite its groundbreaking technology and refined design, the 800 series faced a challenging market. Its launch coincided with a period of economic recession, and the cars were perceived as being too expensive for the British market. Although they enjoyed some success in export markets, particularly in continental Europe, their production ceased in 1995. However, the 800 series remains a significant milestone in Rover's history, demonstrating the company's ambition and capacity for innovation. The cars are still sought after by enthusiasts for their unique blend of comfort, performance, and Japanese engineering heritage. The Rover 820, 825, and 827 are considered rare and desirable classic cars today, especially in good condition.
