General Comments:
Considering I bought this car at auction for £275.00, I knew that some work would have to be done.
This Rover is a big beasty and because of its size, many people tend to go for smaller cars.
This is like driving a settee from a leather suite, and is great for comfort and leg room.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have 376,000 miles on my '93 820Si, nothing has ever gone wrong (apart from worn tyres and had the exhaust replaced). Bought it for £900 4 years ago with 117,000 miles on. It is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. Unfortunately someone came into the side of it at a roundabout and it has been written off. Hope to get another one, but newer, maybe '98 mileage is no issue though!!
