V plate query
Hi folks - I just joined the forum today. The VIN of my 825 ends 260335 and I discovered that the final production one was 260873. Production apparently stopped in 1998 yet mine was registered on 28 Sep 1999 and consequently had a 'V' plate which I thought almost unique, yet there seem to be quite a number of V platers around. I assume this is because they didn't sell well once the 75 was available

Re: V plate query
Welcome John, your car was built in September 1998, so a year old when registered and as you quite rightly say this was not uncommon at the time. Clearly some late cars took a while to sell although talking to someone in the dealerships at the time Rover planned to have stocks of the 800 series cars to overlap the 75. Dont think there was ever any worries about the 75 not selling but I know from being in Rover at the time that 75 production build was delayed several times for one reason or another, so perhaps a fall back position was adopted.
You are also correct that 260873 was supposed to be the last 800 but I have found chassis numbers beyond this so need to do more research into those. PM me your reg number and I'll add it to the database.

Re: V plate query
I have seen a few W reg cars and, a few years ago, a Y reg for sale. BUT no X reg as far as I can recall. Strange.
No longer an 800 owner!

Re: V plate query
i think a lot of the last cars were registered in September 1999 to get rid of them before the 75 came out
mine was done on the 30th and the vin ends in 260602
