In the autumn of 1991 the 800 was reskinned and reengineered under the R17 codename, being launched on 12 November 1991. 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. A coupe debuted at the 1991 Motor Show. The Rover Group built the new car. The reskinned car was shown in November.
