A Grand Monday: Rover 827Si

Here’s a car that’s both a rarity and a bargain - and given how comprehensive the advert is, we don’t think it’ll be around for long, either. 

The car itself is a Rover 827Si with a manual gearbox - and extremely rare combination as most V6-engined 800s were autos. It’s even rarer by virtue of the fact it’s factory black. 

Until early this year, it was also a one-owner car and comes with an extensive service history, carried out at a Rover main dealer and subsequently at the very same garage after MG Rover folded. 

In addition, it has had a recent cambelt service - a major job on the Honda 2.7-litre V6, so a big saving for the car’s new owner. It comes with a full MoT and at £995 we can’t help but think it’s an absolute steal.
