[ROVERNET - UK] The P4 Rover 80 is not a REAL Rover...

[Kent Kinard]

OK, I'll jump in.  I think the 80 is the best of all P4's. 
 It combines the simplicity and servicability of the Land 
Rover 2.25 engine with the very solid P4 body and chasis. 
 The trim levels are almost as good as the 100 and you 
have the disc brakes and overdrive for enhanced 
performance and economy.  I've only had one 80 and I wish 
I had it back.  All in all, a very practical and classy 
daily driver.

Roverly,
Kent K.
