thanks for the welcome, i will get some pics up of my 200 tomorrow. the rest are in storage and cant get near them at the moment. however the 200 is about as clean as you will ever find.

Hi Bigroverfan, I like big Rovers too. There's another bloke on here who loves 800s, can't remember his name. Pete-M or sommat.

 

Welcome aboard.

If you are interested in reading the sorry stories of how I ended up with these, then click on this link: My name is Lord Sterling, and I am a Roverholic :( . You may also find pictures of some of my old Rover 800s too.

That red 200 is lovely, not sure about the spoiler either but if you like it that's all that matters.  Love the interior, it'd be nice to find one like that for mine one day, I'd like to think I could get it looking that good but it's not likely to happen.

Damn these pictures are making me really want a rover. I'm just up the road from you (Ormskirk-ish).

Seeing that 400 makes me want to get mine back on the road!

 

Only thing, the D series is useless for motorways with it's short gearing. Unbelievably quiet though, still miss our old 1993 416 SLi - RIP K85 BRE

ROVERZ R 4 WINNERZ.

 

Three lovely cars there. Nice to see another two R8s still in captivity. I really like those late lower spec 800s, even without the trappings of a Sterling the interiors look like a lovely place to spend time.

A man of fine tastes, welcome!  This thread needs more Rover photos.

Say "Sim-Salabim" and it shall be so

^^ Looks like the outside of my house with a Rover Sterling and K11 Micra 8)

 

Great collectiom you have there Mr BigRoverFan, I'm liking the 800 naturally. I have seen those cars before somewhere but I cant remember if it was or the Rover 800 forum or eBay. Do you have any pics of the Rover 800 Coupe?
