Rover 827 Vitesse Mk1 1989 With only 31 Rover Vitesses left on the road in the uk from the 7500 plus that were about in 1995 when the records started its hardly surprising you dont see them very often. What is surprising with the car you see here is its condition! Thought to be the best one available for sale if not the best MK1 827 Vitesse left G568HOX is in very good condition throughout. The white bodywork again rare in this colour is virtually unmarked past some small cracks in the rear spoiler with no evidence of the corrosion that this model along with most late 80s car suffered from and appearing to be original. The grey interior is excellent all bar some minor surface cracks in the wood veneer dash capping and as its the top of the range model very luxurious and well equipped. The electrics themselves are very good just the coolant light sometimes making random appearances but the vendor ensures this is just that a random light as there is nothing wrong with the cooling system in any way. With only 77500 on the clock and although the service book has been lost there is plenty of paperwork and MOTs to back this up. The engine is very good benefiting from being a 2.7 Honda engine rather than the later models rover unit and the manual gearbox plus the rest of the running gear are in excellent order. So a very rare survivor and one that is fast becoming sought after. Something different to use and visit the car shows in that you can almost guarantee will be the only one there.
