Introduced on 19 April 1994, the R17-generation Rover 800 Vitesse Sport was a joint project between Honda and Rover and the two had already teamed up on the Acclaim/ Prelude, which served as a proof of concept in terms of a partnership
The new car featured a 200bhp version of the turbocharged 2. 0-Litre T-Series engine together with an uprated PG1 gearbox with a Torque Sensing (TorSen) differential
These engineering enhancements resulted in a sharper sporting edge with 0-60 in 7. 1 seconds and 143mph
First registered in January 1995, this 800 Vitesse has had just four former owners and covered less than 87, 000 miles
Boldly presented in Nightfire Red, it's fitted with a sunroof and sits on the correct 17" six-spoke alloys
A full Recaro Granite Grey leather interior was specified and it remains in excellent condition
Supplied with its original book pack, a couple of invoices, previous MOTs and a current MOT
