The Rover KV6 engine in the 800 series was hampered by reliability issues and head gasket failures. MG Rover at the time, with no understanding of the problems simply replaced the engines. In many cases repair would not have been an option due to liner problems. The modified version of the KV6 fitted into the 75 is not an easy swap.

The KV6 engine was in most cases mated to a JATCO gearbox which also in some cases suffered from reliability issues. This was sometimes due to incorrect gearbox fluid changes.

The Rover 820 Vitesse in most guises suffered from problems with gearbox bearings because of the large amount of power from the 2-litre turbo engine. The bearings can be replaced with more durable steel caged bearings.

On 6 June 1990 Tony Pond completed the first ever lap of the famous TT motorcycle course on the Isle Of Man at an average of over 100 mph (160 km/h) in a car — a Rover 827 Vitesse, standard apart from safety features and racing tyres. ~ MG Cars

A Classic MG Cars two-door three-box coupe version was launched in early 1992, having debuted at the 1991 Motor Show.

Classic MG Cars is a former MG British sports car manufacturer. The MG Rover Group plc was the name given in 1986 to the British state-owned vehicle manufacturer previously known as British Leyland or BL. Owned by British Aerospace from 1988 to 1994, when it was sold to BMW Cars, the MG Rover Group was broken up in 2000 with the MG Rover Group and MG marques being acquired by the MG Rover Group.

MG Cars had been originally developed with the American market in mind but was never sold there, MG Rover Group having pulled out of the US market before the coupe's launch. It was, however, sold to other export markets. Eighty percent of the interior and exterior of the MG 800 coupe was finished by hand.
