Sunday washed the SD1, filled it up, pumped up the tires, took it for a spin and put it in winter storage. :) https://i.postimg.cc/HW0rVF1Z/7.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/1twf0jnz/8.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/SRGR3YGF/9.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/SR4jgfCf/10.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/0NLzwsN3/11.jpg https://...

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic

Nice weather this weekend so i took my chance and cleaned the 827 Vitesse, filled it up, pumped up the tires, took it for a spin and put it into winter storage. :) https://i.postimg.cc/Bn4cj2zD/1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/xdFKph1y/2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/hP91422c/3.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Pxp1gyL...

Re: 1982 Rover 3500 V8 Vanden Plas automatic.

You're welcome Marc, i've always been interested in the 1986 ish Mercury LeSabre as i think they're nice looking cars. Being a Ford brand, many parts should cross to other vehicles and be relatively cheap compared to some other marques. Mercury Sable you mean? The Robocop car? No Marc - what i real...

Re: 1989 Rover 827 Vitesse automatic

Did I see your vehicles in a You Tube video that I came across? And was it the editor of 'Practical Classics' that was driving? If it was, I sold the sills that he used to fix his, albeit brief ownership, 800. I was very disappointent when he guested on 'Edd's Workshop Diaries' and allowed Edd to b...
