1989 Sterling Rover 827 SLI Junkyard Car

[@petrblazek9507]

I have owned same fastback white stick shift 827Sli from 97 till 99. Loved it. I was 21years old at that time. Drove it from Largo FL to Chicago back then. 100-120MPH highway drive was no problem. I once tried top speed and at night on my way from Tampa it went over 150MPH. Yes it is Honda powertrain. It was faaaast car back then. I have always liked the interior. Sold it to a crackhead here in Chicago, who never finished paying it off to me. Then found it last time at Junkyard. Long time ago. Nice memories

[@NWB1989]

I personally love how these interiors are designed.

just picked up a black ‘89 with 40k miles, these are cool cars!

[@AdamHughes-u9x]

I had this same car in Red. Sterling 827 SLI Hatchback inherited from my aunt who bought it new in 89. Purchased in Orlando Florida. Car had over 400k on the clock when I totaled it. My aunt still hasn’t forgave me to this day for totaling that car.

Interesting car especially seeing that interesting seat cover in there. great job. At first glance it almost could have looked like a Ford T-bird that front end.

Does the Engine Run is the car drivable?

[@G02Customs]

I happen to own the same car in white with 12,000 miles and looking for parts... where is this located?

[@45AMT]

It's Crushed by now. they only put them out for a few weeks.

[@G02Customs]

Wow these cars are going extinct... Far as I know I have the only one in my entire state...

[@eccIefechan]

What a shame that nobody saved this.

Hello would you be willing to sale?best Mike

I dread to think how short-lived these would have been with the British made 2.0 four-cylinder that most of their native brethren had to suffer.

[@coolcatmeow77]

The Sterling was the Yugo of the luxury car segment with the poor build quality, poor electricals, and just overall shoddy workmanship.

coolcatmeow77 rover is the pinnacle of automobiles need by the company that made the range rover

[@SpitfireFortyFour]

Only in the first couple years when the poor workers were still lumped with all the old ex-Leyland stuff. They sorted them after the first two years but by then the reputation was damaged. The facelifted version ended up being a big seller throughout Europe. Change the badge and actually sell it as a Rover to distance it from the Stirling and it probably would've done quite well.
