STORY

The Rover 800 was an executive car built from 1986 to 1999 and developed with Honda together with the Legend. It was sold in the United States as the Sterling. The first generation (XX) came as a fastback and a saloon, and the 1991 restyle (R17) kept both. The sporting 820 Vitesse had a turbocharged engine.
