Yup, most V6's in Rover 800s are Honda engines, and they have nowt to do with the 6R4 engine (apart from being very nice). In '96, 800s
got the Rover KV6 which is used now in the 75.
I too heard some Rover V6 praise in a kit car mag and joined a Rover 800 list (barrel of laughs) to find out more. They made it pretty clear I
definately wanted a Honda engine. Avoid the 800 KV6's like the plague - they didn't get it right until the 75 - late 800s were a test bed
for the new Rover engine.
On the subject - there was also, according to my Sierra V6 Haynes manual, a bog standard Sierra Ghia V6 which might be another RWD donor possibility.
Probably mostly autos though.
