Default No.1

The latest edition of the Adrian Flux magazine has the V8 Rover as No.1 in the Top 10 of future classics....

Which Rover V8?

If you mean the 75 variant then I am not sure a production run of around 100 qualifies as a classic it deserve far better

More suitable would be that wondrous ebay term Rare or in years to come Priceless and Irreplaceable!

A quick trawl through the members list shows that there are 10 Rover 75 V8's owned by club members.. Thats 10% of the cars built.

A better percentage than the approx. 5000 members, a total of approx. 250,000. 75 and ZT's built

Makes sense that, the nature of the beast ( quite literally) would suggest that it is owned by enthusiasts who would want to preserve it's future and be quite passionate about it.
