1992 Rover - Austin 800 vitesse 2.0 turbo from UK and Ireland
Summary:
As big as a Planet, Goes like the starship Enterprise
Faults:
Drive shaft seal.
Clutch (these cars seem to eat them)
Head gasket went (had head skimmed to solve that problem)
General Comments:
This car is so quick, I just couldn't belive something so big could move that fast.
0-60 about 6.7 seconds and I've had it to 137 MPH, I just can't wait to up the BHP.
The only problem is a bit of rust, but that's to be expected from a car that's 11 years old.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I had one of these on a 'K' plate, I bought it from a friend who got it from Blackbush auction a couple of years before. I part-exed it with 320,000 miles on the clock, I still can't believe it was still going strong, it had a couple of problems, blowing exhaust and a header tank water leak, but it still drove.
