I have a soft spot for the 827SLI. Any Rover nut that
lives in Sterling City should have a Sterling. Or if you
really like oddballs, there's the diesel (825SD?). I've
only seen pictures. One of the New Zealand dealers has a
75 V8 listed (NZ$77,000), but I won't live long enough for
it to become "antique." As far as I know, Ron Jones is
still lurking around somewhere in San Antonio with his
glass roof P6B and Rovers West was trying to get their act
together a few months ago. I think they still have the
very rusty P6 Estate. Two years ago there was a very nice
Cyclops for sale in Kentucky and there's a RHD 80 that
keeps popping up in Tuscon. There are definitely some
nice Rovers out there.
Roverwishfully,
