1990 Rover - Austin 800 827 Si review from UK and Ireland
"F1 on the highway"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since new, nothing and I do mean nothing, has gone wrong one my beloved 827. In fact she has always backed me up ie. against boy racers.
She is PERFECT in EVERY way, she may be getting on but there's no way in this world I'm ever letting Mr Scrapman getting anywhere near her, not my SARAH.
General comments?
SARAH is 11 years young and a handful - 200bhp plus. I've only taken her to 140mph, but she had more, a lot more.
