Ive owned a lot of Rovers, 800's included and the Vitesse (sport) seems to bring all that is good, and bad about Rover together. The electrical problems stay, as does endless rattles and squeks. The trim, while pretty simply isnt fitted properly. BUT, mechanically they are sound. Infact underneath the rattles the car is superbly ...  Read the complete review

Rover 820 Vitesse Sport I've owned 3 of these cars. I'd have another any day; although I've no intention of ever getting rid of my current one-a 1998 saloon model in British Racing Green. The Vitesse has been described as a poor man's Bentley (at least, the very scarce coupe version has) and while it's not quite as prestigous as a ...  Read the complete review

I've owned '95 a Vitesse Sport Lux for two years. This is quite a rare version of the 800 in that it's specced out like a Sterling but has a 210bhp 2 litre turbo engine ( the same one you get in the 620ti ).
