The Rover 800 Series, specifically the 820 model, represents a significant chapter in the history of the British automotive brand Rover, marking a shift towards more modern and sophisticated cars. Launched in 1986 and produced until 1999, the 820 was a large executive saloon designed to compete with established players like the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. It was the first Rover to benefit from a collaboration with Honda, which had acquired a significant stake in the struggling British company. This partnership brought about the use of Honda's reliable and advanced K-series engine, a departure from the previously problematic Rover engines. The 820 offered a range of engine options, including a 2.0-liter and a 2.7-liter V6, both delivering smooth performance and respectable fuel economy for their class. It also featured a spacious and well-appointed interior with comfortable seating, a high level of equipment, and a reputation for quality craftsmanship.

Despite its strengths, the 800 Series struggled to achieve the sales success it deserved, facing stiff competition and a changing market landscape. The Rover brand itself encountered difficulties, undergoing several ownership changes and ultimately facing financial struggles. Nevertheless, the 820 remains a cherished vehicle for many enthusiasts, particularly those who appreciate its combination of British heritage, Japanese engineering, and a focus on comfort and practicality. The WSM (Workshop Service Manual) for the Rover 820 is a valuable resource for owners and mechanics looking to maintain and repair their vehicles, providing detailed information on every aspect of the car, from engine and transmission to bodywork and electrical systems. This comprehensive manual serves as an indispensable tool for ensuring the longevity and performance of this iconic Rover model.
