The Rover 800 Series 825, produced from 1986 to 1999, was a mid-size executive saloon that marked a significant shift for the British car manufacturer, Rover. The 800 Series, initially known as the "R8," was a joint venture with Honda, and it built upon the success of the earlier Rover SD1, but with a more modern and refined design. The 825, powered by a 2.5-liter Honda V6 engine, was the flagship model of the range. It offered a blend of comfort, performance, and technology that was rare in British cars at the time. The 800 Series featured a spacious and luxurious interior with high-quality materials and a sophisticated dashboard design. It also boasted a comfortable ride, thanks to its independent suspension and responsive handling.

The 825, however, wasn't without its challenges. While the Honda-sourced engine was reliable and offered good performance, the car's electrical system was prone to issues, and its build quality could be inconsistent. Despite these shortcomings, the Rover 800 Series 825 remained a popular and desirable car for its time. It was a symbol of British engineering at its best, blending classic design elements with modern technology and comfort. The 800 Series, along with its later iterations, helped to revitalize Rover's image and establish it as a credible player in the European luxury car market. However, the brand's eventual acquisition by BMW and subsequent sale to the Chinese company SAIC marked the end of an era for Rover, leaving the 800 Series as a testament to its enduring legacy.
