The Rover 800 Series, launched in 1986 and produced until 1999, was a significant step forward for the British car manufacturer. Replacing the ageing SD1, the 800 Series was designed to compete directly with the established German luxury saloons like the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz W124. It was a handsome and modern car, featuring sharp lines, a spacious interior, and a range of powerful engines. The 800 Series came in various trims, including the 820, 825, and 827, each offering different engine sizes and levels of equipment. The base model 820 featured a 2.0-liter petrol engine, while the 825 offered a larger 2.5-liter petrol engine and the 827 boasted a 2.7-liter V6 engine for even more power. The 800 Series aimed to build on Rover's reputation for comfortable and refined driving experience. Underneath the sleek exterior, the 800 Series was based on the Honda Legend platform, a testament to the collaboration between the two companies. This shared technology, particularly the Honda-sourced V6 engine, helped the 800 Series achieve a reputation for reliable performance. Despite its strengths, the 800 Series faced challenges. The launch was marred by reliability issues, primarily stemming from the complexity of the vehicle's electronics. However, Rover worked diligently to address these problems, leading to improved reliability in later production years. While the 800 Series ultimately didn't achieve the commercial success hoped for, it remains a significant chapter in Rover's history. It represented a bold attempt to enter the upper echelons of the car market, showcasing British engineering and design prowess. Today, the 800 Series is a niche but increasingly desirable classic car, appealing to enthusiasts seeking a unique and stylish British saloon.
