dudley ◊ 2008-11-16 20:35	Rare, even in the UK. Didn't sell well, and because of this most became Rover fleet cars, so are concentrated around the Birmingham area.
chris40 ◊ 2008-11-16 22:52	Not all of them, though. I saw one nine years ago in Peraia, near Thessaloniki, Greece. It had originally been supplied by a dealer in Düsseldorf, but when I saw it was registered in Tiranë, Albania! BTW I liked this generation of 800s, and this was much the prettiest. -- Last edit: 2008-11-16 22:53:21

ROVER ◊ 2009-11-16 14:35	Great Cars. (IMO) The best Rover Made. I wish they had made them RWD though.

They sold pretty well, but werent too common, there are still a fair few of them around. These were mostly hand-built cars, built in Cowley, Oxford. Most Rovers seen around Birmingham tend to be Birmingham-built Rovers such as 200/25 400/45 and a fair few late 75s. The car in the main pic would most certainly have been an 827 V6 Sterling. The Coupe forst came out as a V6 Coupe until about 1996 when they brought out the 2.0 + Turbos (Which kind of spoilt it IMO)

dsl ◊ 2012-03-25 03:31	Calculated estimate of total number of Coupes as between 7,500 and 10,500. 27% were 2.0 litre, 26% were 2.5 KV6, 47% were 2.7 V6; 66% of 2.0 litre cars were Vitesse. (from big chunk of text halfway down Link to "www.rover800.info" ). Dates (from Glass's): 827 Coupe - June 92- March 96 825 Coupe - Jan 96 - Dec 96 825 Sterling Coupe - Dec 96 - Oct 99 820 Sterling Coupe - Dec 96 - Oct 99 820 Vitesse Coupe (turbo) - Dec 96 - Oct 99. -- Last edit: 2012-03-25 15:19:08
