Gotta love saving them from the scrap heap! I just revived a '98 LR Disco 4.0 V8 after an 8 year slumber. Now it's time to fix the frame rust and get working brakes. Cheers from Canada!
This is actually a very interesting video I keep coming back to see again and again. I can't explain it why but it has to be an interest to old automobiles. Also all the Volga, Lada and Moskvitsh videos i love very much since i have spent my childhood in those machines
My dad had a similar rover, he owned it for 3 years, than sold it. When the car left our family, I was 2 years old, and the rover 820 was the first car for me to sit in the driver's seat. I'm 17 now, on my way to getting a driving license and buying my first car, and now I'm considering buying a similar 820!
1995 Rover sitting there for 4 years really love your videos friend bless you in automotive repair German vehicle put new battery air tires keep it coming new videos flexiy

Our family used to own one of these. It was a 1989 (pre-facelift, no grill on the bonnet), 4 cylinder, gasoline, Rover 800 Sterling. Too bad they all suffered from heavy rust all across the car body + finding spare parts for this car in Latvia was one hell of an adventure as it was prone to breaking a lot ):
Had the 827sli version of this. That engine was silky smooth and straight from the Honda. Lovely old bus she was u til the dreaded tin worm started to eat her alive.
We had those in the US. They were called sterling. From 1987 to 1991. 825's and 827's. Had a Honda V6 engine from the Acura Legend. Only knew one person who owned one. They really liked it.
Silnik zdrowizna, pięknie cyka. Dzisiaj taka jakość jest nieosiągalna. / The engine is healthy, in perfect condition, works beautifully. Today, such high quality is unattainable.
Rovers were never common in the US. I've seen only a few of them over the years, and none were this new. Most of the ones I have seen dated back to the 80s. Great video!
@@RSBritain The T-Series engine was a Rover engine - it was the diesels that they used in these and LR Discovery etc that came from VM. These T-Series engines were also used to uprate the M-Series engines in MG Maestro and Montego Turbos especially by Motobuild Racing - you can see one of these excellent Motobuild T-16 MG Maestro Turbos in white here on CZcams 400+ bhp - just enter MG Maestro Turbo in the search bar above.
I've got a 1999 800 Vitesse, and it's pretty rough. But man, this one makes mine look mint! Well done on getting it going - lovely to see another being given some love.
After putting your foot down i can definitely see how smacking a curb took this turbo spitting beast off the road, shame, these RS versions are getting rarer by the day due to drivers knackering them, would be nice to see this cleaned up and back on the road!
I love me a good beater that still starts up and runs fine! See, these are the types of cars that you can just throw around without the financial worry, too! Lol! 😆😎

Yes this would be Vitesse in the UK but would have a sportier interior and recaro front seats the 820Ti export model like this one has the sterling interior but the turbo engine

It's 0530 in the UK and here I am watching some guy starting an old Rover in a field. What a time to be alive. Good videos mate keep them coming😁
Its a month later and I'm watching it at 05.15, what is it with us Brits 😊

Keep it as a memory these things will hant you they are financially money pits!
Man, it’s been a LONG while since I’ve seen a Rover on the roads here

I like Rover 800 series, so rare nowadays! This particular one was in extremely poor conditions, a challenge for you to restart it! Good job!

With some Honda touch , rare find

One of my favourite British cars the Rover 800 series that us British made. You do a good job of bringing the cars back to life after so many years.
I LOVE YOU ROVER 820 TI
Congratulations on 200k it came quick the rover would prob clean up well with a clean and a bit of love
One of the best looking cars ever made, quality never to be seen again in an ‘Everyman’ car. Should be in a museum. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I had one of those but in the Uk was known as a Vitesse, I miss it greatly . Regards mark

I used to borrow one of these Rovers from work back in '95. I remember thinking it felt smooth, fast and quiet but way out of my price range!
Awesome ride, nice bringing it back from the dead.
Изящная, красивая машина, даже с выбитым глазом и без щеки!
I had the 2 door version of this (in blue also!) back in 2006 and it was a beast!

A lot of effort required this time.... I used to have a 1997 Rover 600.
This car has a lot of potential and can be good as a project car.

If I lived in Estonia I'd buy this car !!!! This one was a hit in England !!!!!
Such a lovely sounding powerplant, once you got it running it sounded sweet! Nice and very rare car...
Made in Italy by VM Motors, back in the day

Honda Legend of its time. Bulletproof if tidied up mechanically.
good channel , in my city there are many rovers around

Save the rover!
I had a green 800 Vitesse turbo...went like a bloody rocket !
A beautiful classic limousine. A large, spacious and elegant car, perfect for a taxi.
Great job, congrats, from Turkey!!!
Looks like a petrol engine but sounds like a diesel !
I have thought the same thing
Wow so great ,Zero Warning lights in the dash ,except ABS
+ airbag :D
@@Flexiny ohh yeah 😀 but a nice car
Loving the bodgery holding the suspension together, proper Rover repair there... :P
Still got good power after being sat for that long 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
You're top!!! Super work and mega like for you! 👍👍👍
I’ve got the earlier 827 Vitesse :)
These are so rare now in the U.K., in its country of birth too. So sad. 😔
little old british car my grandad 2 i think he used to put plaster on it when ever it got a little scratch XD
Congratulations Flexiny good video greetings
That alternator brought a whole new meaning to "it's a rover, the engine wont turn over"
This is really a nice looking car. I am from the U.S. and we had an Acura and Sterling version of this car I believe.
Yup, the 800 was effectively a reskinned Honda/Acura Legend.
Now theres a car that should be restored.
Great job, congrats, from Brazil!!!
It such a good car tho
I love me a good beater that still starts up and runs fine! See, these are the types of cars that you can just throw around without the financial worry, too! Lol! 😆😎

Nice engine with turbo and k&n air filter
being from Canada, I didn't even know they made rovers for LHD markets
These were essentially rebadged Honda Legends.
@@Nawdic ahh I see, that would make sense
There are a few rovers going around in argentina, so I guess europe is also full of them
@@XxmatixX6videosdiariosdenadav Where I live, in Austria, you dont see much Rover, its a shame. Great Car!
2.0T 200cv, what an engine for its time!!
Arguably the last proper Rover
Sounds like a diesel.
Nice video
I freaking love this videos!
Guess this would have been the vitesse in the UK? 180/200 bhp, loved them

Great!! 😀😀 VVRRRR.... rumor of the air compressor😁. Missing bolt on the rear tyre?

Back of the car : " R O V E R " .
Me : " WTF ? 0_o " .
Great video flexiny, nice engine 👌👍😀
Спасибо за видео.
God job
It's amazing how long u know how long they've been sitting for ✔️
Always owners are remembering that when they left car standing and you can see it by documentation sometimes.
I had one, track rod end snapped, sump dragged on the road, game over.
This is actually a video I would have like to see a detailing video of. Body seems to be in a fairly good condition. Might be hard to get parts though...
I really enjoy your videos. I want more!)
I love your content and starting old, siting cars. 👍
20:53 best engineering drunk steering from gta in RL.
what do you do with all these cars you start up, are u fixing them and sell?
Nice!
I love your ROVER very much please make it 😭😭😫🙏🙏🙏🙏
Could you show us how to connect fuel pump to a bottle filled with fuel? Want to know how in case I ever need an emergency fuel tank.
