Big question, would this happen here today 2024 🤔
Total respect to the police in this instance definitely deserve recognition for their excellent services on this day
Always like these Coupe's. Never owned one though. I remember in the late 90s a guy down my road had a 620Ti. That could shift.
Thinking and living in boxes. Well done...
I going to geta v8 rover sdi
Bro where did you get that give me the link
Magnificent. Could it be done today ? Increased traffic but aided by centrally controlled traffic lights with CCTV . Probably just use a helicopter now.
Ive never seen one in real life. Seen plenty of Mercs, Audis, Bmws. Mind you i dont live in uk.
Why not use a Heeliocopter
Great car. Red Robbo Ruined BL!
And the rover streetwise wad laughed at at the time but every car today seems to be in this style
As someone looking for something like this, big, loping 4-seat coupe is quite the niche back then as well as now. Other options on today's used market really are a BMW6er or Jag XK8, both of which leave a lot to be desired in terms of rear space and are more 2+2s really, or a Chrysler-era Merc CL, a car whose running costs make a 90s Rover look like a base spec Toyota Avensis. I've had two Rovers before, an early 45 1.4 manual and a very late 75 2.5. Both were rather pleasant in a "grammar boys reunion circa 2002" sort of way, although the Project Drive cuts on the 75 did show - the car felt just felt like it was missing something, somehow. I could very well be tempted by one of these coupes.

People commenting on helicopters. They had been grounded after one explosion. Perhaps pinning this would help.
Most forgiving car in history . I owned 2
Great demonstration of road skills by all the Police Officers involved
I often used to beat, Top Fuel Dragsters, away from the lights, in my '82 Metro.
Clarkson logic Rover 800 test. Conclusion: buy Alfa 164 😁
The coupe looks like a Thunderbird in America.
The front looks like a nissan.
These operations are done on motorcycles now so it's easier to get through traffic.
Kids in the boot. Classic 80's Britain.
I remember that when I played toca race driver on pc game
1987....was that Tim Harvey and Dennis Leech in disguise in those SD1s? ;)
He says there's "some FAKE WOOD TRIM". Rover shooting themselves in the foot! Although fake wood sometimes can look real, and nice, that destroys Rovers classy reputation! Not worth saving money, if it does that! Otherwise still a classy , slick model, in 2-door form, that showed even Italy, how to do things!
FORD CORTINA ❤
That's a lot of cars in one car review, damn!
Blue Lens front fog lights that's Essex for you
Dorky people say 75 is a unfashionable car. Like the pot calling the kettle black
I had 3 800 Fastbacks and loved them. Covering huge mileage they just cruised for ever. Bedford to Darlington and back in a day was easy.
This was 'Peak Rover' The new Metro was still competitive, the 200/400 were good, and the facelifted 800 looks fantastic. Its a shame about the 75 and getting tarred with the 'old folks image.
I had “Magical Sound Shower” playing in my head throughout that(Outrun).
I love these cars (and all Rover group vehicles from this era) But this launch was utterly brutal on the ear. Wowsa. I really miss MG Rover Group, I really feel like they were so close to wrestling things back to stability. What a shame 😢
How long do you think the head gasket lasted on this car after Tiff's red-line thrashing??
The Mini S in Electric Blue looks exactly like my 2004 R53 with only minor differences..... Awesome car..... LET'S MOTOR!
The R8 was a better car. This one was too small and too expensive to compete with Astra, Golf and Escort.
You need to credit me for the production of this video.
This is my favourite episode.
The old design's suitable for rights hand drive. It's been iconic car from British. Changed it, it will like you drives ordinary car.😊
.... Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today Romans 6.23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus
Proper coppers well done 👍🏻
This is when the British police were the best in the world. How far we’ve fallen
Lol what? Police were even more hated back then and had zero accountability, didn't even have bodycams so did what they liked. I always laugh when people romanticise the past like it was a utopia, nostalgia deludes.
First time I’ve seen this and I’ve got one of the first R50’s
The police officers involved make a very good point, you can plan what you think is the best possible route for the circumstances but you can't really legislate for any unforeseen events or accidents - life happens and they just have to try and deal with whatever arises given the time.
Unfortunately there's no real legislating for foolishness or just plain simple ignorance of other road users.
I hope someone upgrades the footage (maybe using AI) at some point, I would love to see this at least in HD, great driving
Head gasket
I had two Rover 800's . The first was the an 'O' series 8-valve carburettor automatic economy version - even had manual window winders in the back. Sparkling the performance was not, but I got 40mpg over a whole tankful on a long trip to Wales carrying 4 people and luggage - staggering economy for such a large automatic car carrying such weight. And I still got it up to 110mph once carrying 4 people before I bottled out. And it was very comfortable to drive over a long distance.
This was before the police got Vauxhall senator 3 litre injection 24 valve
