Greetings all, I came across this forum by accident whilst trawling the net and thought i'd sign up.
I don't have a Rover at the moment (although i do still have a TVR with the RV8, if that counts!) but have had a few over the years, including a very early production 2000sc (originally in the family and which i also took my test on), 3500S, 95, Sd1 V8, Sd1 V8 VandenPlas (series 1), 827, 800 Vitesse Sport and a few smaller ones at the same time, ie 216s, 216 Vitesse, 216Sli (Honda engined). Seems I've never quite managed a P5 though.
What do people on here define as 'classic'. There was much debate when the 216-type Rovers were announced that they weren't really Rovers, just rebadged Hondas, although I recall it also being said when the SD1 was launched that it too wasn't a proper Rover and that seems to be accepted as a classic now. No doubt the same was said when the P6 was announced, and the P4 before that.
I'm sure I'll find a forum topic about it at some stage.
I will monitor this forum with interest.
