The alloys on the car (yes they are alloys, not trims) were available on the very early Mk1 Rover 800s mostly on the higher spec models such as the Sterling and 825i (Honda V6 engines were first made as a 2.5 then rebored to a 2.7 before anyone tries to correct me) My guess would be that this is most probably an 825i, although there is an outside chance its an 820i/e etc.... -- Last edit: 2012-03-24 20:51:01

Mr Chipsticks ◊ 2012-03-25 22:32	The DVLA didnt issue numbers to Rover to match the specs/engine size of 800s, so a Rover 825 didnt neccessarily receive an '825' plate, I've seen 825s with '827' and '820' in the plate and vice-versa...
