Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THIRTEEN IS unlucky for some, and so it is for the 13-year-old Rover 800, which dies this year, to be replaced by the new Rover 75, which also replaces the 600, so Rover dealers are keen to shift old stock at low prices.
The 800 is an outdated but comfortable fossil. A top of the range 825I Sterling costs pounds 27,000 new, but at All Electric Garages, in Birmingham (0121-427 5252), prices start at pounds 20,895. They also had the competent and more contemporary 600. Entry level 618s are pounds 12,495, previously pounds 15,675. Shop around the Rover dealer network, mainly in the Midlands.
