Something something floorpans something something sills.

 

 

 

Seriously though, that looks lush.  I do like 800s.

 

 

Something something Rover.

 

Really, I went to jack the front of the 200 up today and the bloody sill's holed.

I may have to give in and buy a flat cap for this one...

 

PO says it's ridiculously fast, he's enjoyed embarrassing "da kidz" at traffic lights.  That suits me!  On the ebay thread, someone said this engine makes 136bhp.  That's the same as Bodie's Capri 3.0.  Should be fun!

 

Jodie, yes, it's the same one.

I love 800s almost as much as I don't love 75s. A properly competitive car for the class it was aimed at , not some ill conceived , wrong sized retro throwback that has only gained any popularity because of the demise of the company and misty eyed nostalgia.

Although I do wonder if the National Trust grille and analogue clock on the Mk2 and its positive effect on sales of a by then slightly outdated car , could be said to be responsible for the whole Retro style thing , Rover 600, Nwe Beetle, S-Type, 75, Bini, Fiat 500- would any of these exist without the bit of chrome and plastic being met with such enthusiasm?
