From the excellent spelling and grammar I'd guess about 12.
Joe - lovely looking car. 622bhp wow - that's nearly as much a screw modded 306

Just recently aquired this:
R Plate Rover 820 Vitesse Sport.
Needs a lil work done here and there but it was a good price and it came with a few mods already

I thought it originally used the 2.7 V6 until the Turbo arrived late on?

The 2.7 V6 was the Honda C26 and was found in the early Vitesses and Sterlings.
After a certain age (not actually sure when, I think sometime around 1995) the Honda C27 was replaced by the Rover 2.5 KV6 for the Sterling and the T16 Turbo for the Vitesse.
edit... That one posted above is a Vitty Sport. Introduced in 1996. Slightly stiffer suspension and bigger brakes as standard... not to mention a power increase to 200PS instead of the original 180PS.
My knowledge on the 800 is quite limited but I'm sure someone on here knows better

The original Vitesse Sport had the larger brakes, unfortuneatly Rover being the tight ass's they were decided to put std 800 brakes on most of them as they were more cost effective (already had plenty of spares)
Problem is as my mate the previous owner found out they were rubbish with any heavy braking, before he had these fitted he was going through a couple sets of discs a year
There 328mm AP Racing discs afaik, Brembo calipers custom fitted thanks to reyland rally.
Had to replace the original 17" wheels with 18"s as they were to small for the brakes
The engine on it is also a slightly different one as this has the T28 iirc and the larger bore exhaust system.

Forgot to put the pictures in here:
June 2003 530d Sport with CD, Extended computer, Bluetooth and Leather Interior.
FSH and it's in showroom condition. Not what I thought I'd be driving something like this at 23, but it's a fantastic car and I'm delighted with it.
