The V8 were great mile munchers, I was lucky enough to have a mate many years ago who had one of the last made, I was due to go on Holiday to Germany and he said '' why dont you take the Rover''. I didnt need asking twice. Had a great 2 weeks and put 1800 miles on it. Sadly a couple of months later it was written off because of a rear end shunt.
The problem was the early ones were badly made and had big reliabilaty problems. Poor quality paint, dodgy electrics and it took a lot of getting back.
