Even worse I have a post-it note inside the brochure comparing some key dimensions to its predecessor (a Rover 800 of some sort - I had many of them!):
25% heavier (mostly V8), 6" longer, same width (over mirrors), same boot capacity, 2" more headroom and 5" more rear seat width.
(and yes I do still have some Rover 800 brochures too...... :o )

I used to have a rover limo :rolleyes:
is that a contradiction?? ;p;

GVW = Max Weight of the Vehicle = Kerbweight + passengers + luggage

1850kg is the approx Kerbweight of a D2 S8, add the passengers and luggage and the full weight will be about 2350-2400kg.

Nothing wrong with Rovers

I've still got one, last of the proper Rovers though :D

(first to try a 5cyl engine & inboard discs in the P6 shape, and gas turbine in the P4 Shape - JET 1)
