Saw this in the Fairfield Car Park in Abergavenny on the 9th June.
Looks well tidy compared with mine and its got a towbar!
See what I mean - I must give a clean!

Finally got to speak to the owner of this car and have given him a flyer so he may turn up here.
He has owned the car from new and the inside is in fantastic condition. Bought directly from Rover, it's a diesel and is approaching 69,000 miles. He lives locally and has only had one problem in all the years that he has owned it.
We both agreed that they are vastly under-rated cars

Well I see my car's reputation precedes me!! Oh, how I did laugh when I saw this! Then when I showed my wife, how she did laugh!nirgunapa wrote:Finally got to speak to the owner of this car and have given him a flyer so he may turn up here.

I clearly remember that day in Fairfield car park, when I saw the green 800 parked near me - what I didn't know, was that my 800's fame was soon to spread!!
Glad to have met up with you yesterday evening and great to know that there are many like-minded people out there who appreciate these cars. I now feel vindicated in my belief that I was right to hang on to this great car - despite what my children and others have said!
Best regards to you and all,
one happy-chappy!
