I had a Moonraker Blue 3.5 Vanden Plas. Bought it at 4 years old, and had it for 9 years I think. Great cruiser when on the continent. Always reliable.Apart from tyres and exhaust, and a new alternator,that’s all it required, and brakes of course.

The Rover 800 was a very underrated car, I personally liked the looks and it was quite well made, the Honda influence was just right, the decision by the then 'Con' government to sell Rover to BMW was a disaster, as I believe that had Honda been approached Rover would still be trading today.

Apparently the VIN was in between two recall groups. It went from a value of ten grand to zero instantly and I will never buy another Kia!

And that leads nicely on to the next part of the process where there's certain car manufacturers I'll never, ever, purchase another car from regardless of how much the press etc. say that their latest offering is brilliant, fantastic and the "bad old days" are well and truly behind them. And you're doing exactly the same. . I really do wonder if they are remotely bothered about us - because there will always be someone else coming along, so who cares? Maybe they'd like to think about how many manufacturers are left and what does history tell them about producing unreliable, shoddily put together vehicles and poor customer service. |

I suspect the Rover 75 CLASSIC (insert your own view of the spec) owner is making a comment on your daughter's Kia somehow not being up to our Rover CLASSIC standards. |
