Rover 825 Silver Sterling
There I was driving down the M1 today just past Scratchwood Services and I noticed 2 Police motorcyclists in my rear view mirror.
At Staples Corner I was requested to pull over for a routine check.
As I knew I had done nothing wrong, (cruise control is a lazy mans way of ensuring you dont inadvertently exceed the limit) I was very concerned that my car had been cloned and had used in recent criminal activity.
A quick check soon revealed I was a genuine owner and there was nothing untoward.
At the end of the very informative and advisary chat, the kind WPC gave me the leaflet referring me to this site where I could obtain advice and spares for these "future classics"
I had forgotten I had already registered when I was looking into problems with Head Gasket issues some while ago.
The officer was also the proud owner of 2 of these beasts.
So, thanks very much for the re-introduction.

Ha ha, sounds like Kate got you! Welcome (back) to the site anyway, as I'm sure Kate told you it's a fantastic source of information for the 800 and well done Kate, keep up the good work!

I'd have quite enjoyed that! Had a couple of cops keep coming down my road one day when I was spending the whole day on of my cars, in the end I acknowledged them and we chatted, he lost interest when he realised my mk1 wasnt an 827...

excuse me sir is this your vehicle?
I tell you something it looked fab gliding down the M1. You could see the suspension working but the body looked unruffled.
But blimey don't they look small next to modern traffic. The 3 series BMW in lane one looked huge.
Made my afternoon.
Misuse of police power? Never.
I stopped it as it is a highly desirable vehicle and therefor wanted to make sure it was not stolen
Driver was a lovely chap too.
