  A Grand Monday: Rover 400 27 Mar 2017 (News)
  Make no mistake, Rover Group's collaboration with Honda turned out some good cars. Chief among them was the car known internally as the 'R8' - the original 200 and 400 Series, which for the first few years of its life was considered the absolute best car in its class. Build quality, comfort, dynamic ability and the neatness of its design were all things that worked in its favour, as did the lively new 16-valve K-series engines, which punched well above their weight in terms of both fuel economy and performance - a fact all too easily forgotten these days, thanks to the unit's unfortunate reputation for head gasket failure.

  Nostalgic cars in the classifieds 1 Jun 2011 (News)
