The Rover 800 series was co-developed with the Honda group, development work taking place at Rover's Canley plant and Honda's Tochigi development centre. the range debuted in 1986 in Saloon and Fastback forms, with the Honda model entitled Legend. The European Legend was manufactured alongside the Rover at Canley while the US market Acura (Legend) was built in Japan.
In the autumn of 1991, the 800 was re-skinned and re-engineered under the R17 codename. This saw the re-introduction of the traditional Rover grille and more curvaceous bodywork. The redesign found much favour and as a result the car's sales enjoyed a renaissance, the 800 series becoming Britain's best selling executive car in the early to mid-1990s, overtaking the Ford Granada.
The Coupe version was debuted at the 1991 British Motor Show (NEC, Birmingham) and released in 1992. Between 1992 to 1996 the Rover 800 Coupe came exclusively with the 2.7 Honda V6 engine and 16" Rover 'Prestige' alloys. A four-speed automatic transmission came a standard, and the car was capable of well over 130mph.
This had been originally developed with the American market in mind but was never sold there, with Rover having pulled out of the US market before the Coupé's launch. It was, however, sold to other export markets. Eighty percent of the interior and exterior of the 800 Coupé was finished by hand.
