Rover 800 - Product Familiarisation Video - Part 1 (1987)

[@alexrankin2235]

Well done, I’ll be following this restoration 👍😀

[@philwright8269]

It seems Rover went above and beyond with user videos, I don't recall seeing any other companies having videos like these. Good old British Rover, apart from the engine lol.

[@sheriff0017]

This isn't a user video. This is for dealership staff.

Rover is a marque which definitely still resonates in the British psyche. Ask most 25-35 Brits and they will tell you they always wanted an MG ZR, Rover 25 or even a Rover Metro, it's built in from seeing their parents and Grandparents rave about them. The quality they had over Vauxhalls, VW's and French cars established the whole "not quite a Mercedes but very nearly" but at half the price mentality.

My rover was leaking fuel. So technically speaking it’s mpg was negative. Also you couldn’t smoke near it.

[@sheriff0017]

Otherwise OK?

[@animal79thecat]

a good case of the product not living up to the hype

[@stephenhughes2775]

My new F regd 820 spent more time up on the ramps at the rover dealer than on the road. Ended up with a 5 series bmw from the leasing company as they refused the Rover.

But you know what the saying was above all it was a rover 🙄 😏 🤔 lol

[@DavidSmith-yt7im]

And now they have all rotted away

[@JohnSmith-el5mo]

Rover= Honda undercover.

[@edwardwestby711]

Considering the 800 and Legend shared less than 20% of their components, I think you may want to revise your perceptions.

Long winded way of telling us it’s a piece of crap

[@philwright8269]

LOL, it has character though.
