I just managed to scrap my box as I tried to fix the bearings, anyone have a box out there? Pre Torsen is ok as my car is a 180bhp vitesse.

Happy new year! 2021 will be better!

Looking good there Henrik! Is that a set of diff bearings and seals i see?

Yup I've got all the bearings and seals plus some other stuff. I just hope I remember how it was before I stripped it!

Holy thread revival! Gearbox back on the bench to get put together again and hopefully I’ll get some spare time to give the coupe a good clean and some polish during the holidays. Plan is a thorough machine polish and maybe getting the chrome trim strips fixed. I need this car working in 2021! 2020 ...

Merry Christmas to all of You. Wishing for a better 2021!

A nice frosty day but no snow. Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to all Rovers around the world. Stay safe and we will see a better 2021! https://i.postimg.cc/S2s4SVxz/D7-B9-A5-AF-373-F-4-F76-80-E7-3-F0-DBC58-D15-C.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/GHYCm4dz/FF9-BDB8-E-BE64-4-EF4-A3-C3-9-AF791195-A3-E.jpg

As I said in this post : http://rover800.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=14838&p=156340#p156340 The journalist like the handling of the manual gearbox of the Rover 825. This is for me a bad point on my car, and I don't know if it is my car who has a problem (It is old) or if it comes from me (and I...

Oh I love the Daimlers, much more than the Jags really. I too have a lost dream of having an XJ-S but I would prefer the later 4.0 with the new shape quarter lights, rear windows. But I ended up with an 800 coupe instead!

I do agree with Dave and Simon. The Pug Coup is really nice! It actually feels a bit like the 800 coupe, a different car from the regular saloon or estate/fastback.

Still not many scratches for such an old car. Overall it's in a very good condition. My black Mk1 Vitesse is a rolling restoration, one thing at the time but mechanically and when it comes to body work. Fortunately mine is very undented and straight so that is good. I think yours is very nice Lodein...

Excellent on the satin black trims. It’s all in the details!

You beat me to it Henrik, i was going to say similar!

Had planned to do mine over this summer but it didn't happen!

Haha Dave, if you knew how much I had planned for the Summer! But hey, It’s only 6months left until the next!

That is a very beautiful car! Congratulations! And a manual non cat 827, those are rare! I have one myself (vitesse) but no where near as nice as yours.

Welcome to the best Rover 800 information site available!

Excellent news - sometimes new is just the best way! Great news Henrik! :wink: :D Thanks! Well not new but ”new”. Got them from one of the Facebook folks Daniel Joseph Bryan, a really nice guy with a large number of spares and cars. I’ve invited him here too, I hope he finds his way. Next on the li...
