    You had me at: 'shame about that god awful thing in the background'. The Juke is an abomination.

    Great video Tom. Those fob things that you found in the glovebox are alarm Fobs for a Sparkrite Alarm system which is fitted to the car. When you had the bonnet open the alarm siren is fitted just behind the headlight on the drivers side. Lovely car that 800.

    Looks a keeper Tom for the new owner, flat red will take some looking after.

    Awesome video Tom, what an absolute stunner of a car, I've owned two of these Vitesse's in the past although slightly later models a 96 & a 98 so both were fully colour coded had smoked rear lenses, later door cards, air con, and had the coil pack instead of the dizzy, at the moment I have six 800s and a ZT190, the 800s are great cars so much so I've always had an 800 since 1999, maybe one day I'll own another vitesse, I did a 365 mile round trip once in my 98 vitesse at 44.5 miles to the gallon.

    Car looks great. I was surprised how tinny the door sounded as you closed it.

    I had the early 1992 vittesse turbo. It was rocket. Build quality was dreadful. well the switch gear. There was a crunch in 3rd gear. The handbrake cables used to jam. i loved the recaro seats. it was a comfy big cruiser. i would have another if im honest its just series 3 rover sd1 lol

    Sterling was the name Rover used when they launched the 800 in America. Pretty random though, might just be a coincidence.

    My last car was the British racing green version. Loved it, but struggled to find the parts at the time. Last was rear tail gate had to replace, after window shattered in winter. Couldn't source just a window. Comfortable seats. But prefer the 620ti suspension, was really soft.

    Lovely car. If not resprayed then it must have been garaged as red fades so well/badly. Looks like it has been loved by previous owners.
