My father had a sterling Coupe and a 827 coupe. Both beautiful cars, quiet, smooth and so reliable. My father wasn't concerned with the fuel, being an accountant. I remember the interiors being superb, especially the leather, as good as a rolls leather inside. Can't recall any problems. Eventually they were sold and a smaller more practical car was purchased, a IS200 Lexus. Great review, really good. My dad had the coupes for ten years so our experience of them was pretty good. I think the expansion tank was replaced and the usual servicing parts. They were always well serviced and garaged.

I love old cars. Modern cars are nothing compared to the oldies. You should be on Top Gear Hypa.

Beautiful car from back in the day were cars were still distinguishable. It's also in great condition! Nice cheap classic to enjoy. I might be cursing, but an LPG tank in the car could solve the millage/gas thing. Older cars hardly have to be modified for that, because they had quality parts. And with an lpg tank, you can still drive on regular as well. With this low millage, i think it would still be worth investing in. I get the thing with the cd's you found. Give you kind of that melancholic feeling, by finding personal belongings of a man who has lead his life, and has now passed away. Anyway, have fun with it!

I love the 800, especially the later ones. Thanks for posting this video.

I had an 827SLI on lease in the early 90s,one of the best cars I've ever driven,plush,sleek and deceptively very quick,a good one nowadays must be wirth a fortune..

Lovely car. That has to be one of the nicest examples around.

I'm in the States and I remember seeing adverts for these cars in some of the American car magazines (Car & Driver, Motor Trend, etc.) when they imported them in the late 1980's when I was a pre-teen. They looked really cool. They had problems though with quality and craftsmanship from what I've heard (similar to the Merkur cars) and I guess that's why they didn't stick around in the American market for too long. Looks like a really cool car though! I'd imagine the British cars were better-made over there than whatever North American source that they used for the American cars. I don't think they imported them from Great Britain, although I could be wrong....it was over 30 years ago. Really cool video! New subscriber from me!

For some reason all I can think of is Alan partridge 😁👍

I really don’t like the way modern cars are going, I’m really not a fan of these bloated SUVs which are plaguing the roads. I really think the golden era for cars is behind us as modern cars with horrible down sized eco engines seem to be designed to appease the environmentalists and politicians rather than the keen driver. I drive a 1998 Ford Mondeo 2.5 V6 Ghia X and hope to keep it going for a long time. My nephew loves older cars too used to have a mk1 1989 Rover 827 a couple of years ago, it wasn’t the Sterling model but was still quite well equipped which he regrettably sold, however, on Saturday we are going to buy a 1999 Rover 825 Sterling which amazingly must be one of the only ones left without dashboard lift!!! Both me and him can’t wait to get it and run it alongside the Mondeo. One day we hope to own a Rover SD1 3.5 V8 but the values on those are really on the increase. Really enjoyed watching your video, the part with the previous owners CD’s was quite moving, you’ve definitely got a good car there mate. I’m sure the original owner would be so happy that the car which must’ve been his absolute pride and joy has gone to someone like you who really appreciates it.

Next video: "I sold the car and put it on Blackjack. Lost."

really nice cars, had the 827SLi, Sterling and an 825 Sterling. Honda 2.7PGMFi were the best, used to see fuel gauge going down in real time when driving hard. Tires squeal around the roundabouts and corners! Great cars. Honda Legend practically same car. 177BHP, for the late 80's, PGMFi injection & v6, it was FAST! Japanese versions had an added turbo

Nice video, brings back memories. In ours the back seats had electric reclining. I thought they all did, but I couldn't see yours in the video.

I had a Rover 420Gsi Sport, which I got dirt cheap as it had been a pool car at my place of work. 6 Yr old when I bought it. 120k on the clock but had full service history. I had used it many times at work and was very impressed with how nippy it was. Full leather interior, alloys, electric everything...loved it and a bargain at £1500. It was a weird metallic green with a hint of blue. Hated selling it as we bought a house in an area littered with speed bumps. As the car had been lowered it would have ruined it. Had it for 3 years and it never missed a beat. Rover got that one right. 😊

Lovely HONDA - if you've still got it all you are required to do now is visit your local accessories shop and buy a couple of Honda badges to properly label the car.

excellent I drive a 16yr old shogun jeep I had to spend 1500 to get it repaired recently I just cant let it go your car is fab

Richard mind the horses.. what horses?... the ones in the field dear...😂😂 loved these cars in the 90's. What's good enough for Hyacinth is good enough for me.😉

Hypa, the long awaited Rover 827 2.7 V6 Sterling video. Awesome mate. What can I say. That was well worth the wait. Awesome car and a future classic. Enjoy it mate. Excellent Vid and can’t wait for another one.

Great video mate I enjoyed watching that a lot

Great car Hypalinx. I have exactly the same car, albeit in dark Grey rather than BRG, and the interior on mine is the same colour as yours. I also own a 1987 E-reg Mk1 825 Sterling and a 1987 Mk1 D-reg 820e. A small nugget of info about them is the floor mats you mention, Rover Sterlings only ever came with 3 lambs wool mats, all for passengers. I suspect the driver was supposed to have a rubber mat or thinner carpet mat but somehow they were never supplied. I sourced myself an original rubber Rover 800 drivers mat. Very difficult to find now.

Great to see it, I miss my Vitesse. I have heard other Sterling owners with that engine saying it has a crazy thirst on it, so I do not think it is just yours.

A car with true character!

Had one around 94-95 The automatic gearbox was dodgy and the heaters have a history of packing in, every scrap yard I visited searching for the same cars all had missing heaters. Watch the fuel gauge, they tend to lie lol, when mine read quarter of a tank it meant i needed a garage ASAP

I watch all your videos! Love the videos! Keep them coming! Cheers from Maryland, USA

Suppose to get around 21 mpg, i loved my 827 and was quite reliable it only let me down once just after i bought it but was a good runner. In sports mode u can't go above 90 mph as i recall it's just a between 0-90 acceleration mode.

that engine bay is amazing

Phrooarrrrrr what s motor remember seeing these when I was a kid.....This car was so ahead of its time

Looks lovely, great in BRG too 👍🏻

May aswell do a face revel now hypa, Crystal clear on the bonnet! Love these videos by the way

Get in there; nice ride, sir!

Good video Hypa. Cant beat the old analogue dashboard. So much prefer them to digital displays. The fact the car probably weighs about 3 tonne may explain the impact on your fuel!

Beautiful car mate. You seem to have a talent for finding diamonds in the rough

It looks very elegant. M.

It was registered as a green colour. Paintjob done may. I see it was also left sat somewhere for 11 years. Good condition though.

looks really clean, nice car

Stunning car

Wonderful video Hypa. Could the dashboard top be refitted or glued back down? Do you still have the car in 2023?

Hypa, did you see that D-reg Ford Sierra Cosworth sell at auction recently for £80k 😯

I had a M reg 827 auto fastback amazing car , best driving years but very thirsty.

Omg I've finally seen the face of the voice

It looks very similar to me Audi A6 2.0

Beautiful motor sir🥰

Very similar to the Honda Legend, another prestige car.

Nice motor hypa, good work

Could a thermostat issue be keeping her a bit cooler and hammering your MPG?

I suppose you may get in touch with the previous owner's wife from whom you purchased it and see if she wants the CDs back (?) I'm guessing she will say no but it might be worth asking I suppose.

The part with the cd’s is rather moving 😢

Lovely car to drive (TANK)

Love this video... I had the Vitesse shit off a shovel I miss that car..

Lovely car to match a lovely bloke 🙂

You've just been Rovertaken!

Nice video... finally have a face to that Voice 😂

Anything you want to know in particular about rovers hypa? My dad was a mechanic for them for nearly 20 years, including being one of the lead mechanics on there rally team.

These always look nicer in Flame Red or Bolero Red.

Do you ever play hold em online? Love the vlogs btw :)

I wonder why only some of your videos show in my playlist and im subscribed 🤔

8:43 Excuse you!!

Nice car, nice interior too. Can I have my CDs back though?

Lovely car that mate! There’s a interesting video I watched awhile back about the Rover/Honda partnership you might be interested in kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7txlayUrqirY30.html highly recommend watching some of his other videos too. Really fascinating and well put together stuff

Vortex Guy

it doesn't look like anyone has ever sat in the backseat before

Well it takes all sorts.

Hi i think its retro and has character and in today's car market thats appealing. It has loads of extras and ok it wobbles a bit in regards to the fittings but strangly i like that . As for the actual drive its solid and smooth . And if you bump into one of these carbon skinny jean cars your smash them to pieces . I agree it looks a bit maniacally depressed and something about the head lights say it might have homicidal tendency but its like a old soilder that keeps on going from battle to battle . Lets face it its far more realistic . Ya john wick looks cool an all but in reality hes unrealistic. This car at some point before 2 pac got shot was a sex symbol . Onlookers marvelled in its successful look . Woman gave sexual glancing looks at the driver . Its likely seen some action in its day . A few happy endings have surely took place . Which makes the leather even more appealing. Yes at some point those seats were as creamy as the end of a cows t#t but Its clearly been well maintained . Engine looks nice and the honda 2.7 v6 is very strong . The boots massive which is never a bad thing . They are thirsty buggers . Its worth checking the thermostat incase its running colder but tbh they drink like a gang of alcoholics who broke into a off licence but you have others like a pimp so in the same way you wouldnt take the skinny one to all you can eat restaurant or the fat one to an expensive restaurant make sure you pick your timing . Its a cruiser so for late night motor way sessions thats your toy . Some people tune these up and stick a huge turbo on it . Wrap em and put huge wheels but for me thats going to far . I bought a old s class mercedes for my motor way cruises and its brilliant and like yours it makes sure i find petrol garages that i never knew existed . However it turn me on like a megaways jackpot with huge potential . I can eat a takeaway in any seat and not feel like small cars make me feel which is like a human rat . Noring away elbows squashed against the glass . Knees slapping into my chin like some sort of self sucker . Oh if i could i would but thats another story . Head rubbing off the roof like a forgotten party ballon in a disused warehouse or old storage locker . Steering wheel pushed into your chest and tryna hit the indicators in some sort of sideways nipple flicking movement . Nope i like big cars thanks . Something nice on the radio . Slouching back chilling out . Maybe even a danger bank but thats dependent on the music. Ok its not all perfect . The lights at night make you feel like your crawling up free willys as# with match thats been split in four with a razor blade by Russian convicts and the full beams were surely intended as some sort of advertisment for lampposts. But that indicator noise is soothing and the clicks are intentional unlike new cars . The fake clutch was clearly fitted by someone from silicone valley who didnt know when to stop . The interior noises make you feel like your on a ship in a storm and each time you drive a new noise appears again and again and again and sometimes it can become to much till your overstretched like a octopus screaming Make it stop MAKE IT STOP PLS FOR THE SAKE OF MY SANITY . A long silence amongst the madness as you become creak deaf and wipe away the tears and blood from were youve bitten some of your tounge out the fuel needle plays games with your head with sudden drops as soon as you look away for a few seconds . Slam fook you driver have some of that it says and the voices start they say ha ha ha watch as i eat through thos fuel like a petrol bomband as you push the often squeeky but yet reliable windows down and spit that small piece of tounge out you sigh a puff of relief and embrass those ridiculous noises and say . Hay you know what i kinda like em . You look at what was half a tank prior to your slight nervious break down and its just hovering over the emergency fuel light like a nat over your exposed testicles in a tent just split seconds before your touch flickers its last flicker. But this is what character is and without it i think it would be bland like a bowl of cornflakes with no milk or sugar . And that simply wont do . Enjoy it

Why have you decided to move?

Where's the beads for seat covers?

Did you buy it privately or at an auction? Is it easy to get parts for it?

You might as well show your mug in videos now we've seen it enough in reflections lol. Would certainly improve your videos.

Dam how many cars do you have!

Did you get rid of the Jag Hypa?

Зделайте перевод на русский на руска язычных

Put a fiver of fuel in it and double it's value.
