my dad had a rover 850
2 in fact - , one after the other. the first was the fast back, the second a saloon.

i was looking for a cheap second hand motor with a big engine (i assumed a big engine would be better for lots of motorway driving) and found absolutley jack in the way of the old 850s.

it seems the gearboxes were made of metal that biodegraded. utter shite.

i bought a volvo.
