This is meant to be a list of parts that are commonly available in the US that match the original specs for the somewhat “rarer” British cars that are still on the road. Often, there are NAS parts specific that are made of finest unobtainium, when generic replacements are widely available. I’ll keep the posts updated, but mostly they’re for me. 🙂
The car with most in common to the Sterling 827 is the 1990 Acura Legend. There’s some commonality with other years…. but only *some*.
Auto trans: Only the autobox from a ’90 Legend will fit. The earlier and later Legends have a different end cap, and WILL NOT fit in the Sterling without serious monkeying around, changing of cam speed sensors, etc. It’s really not worth the effort. Trust me. 🙂
Exhaust: Rear pipes from an 86-90 Legend will fit, and the rear section from a Legend LS model even has the correct two exit pipes. Other models only had a single exit pipe… but they’ll all do.
Tailgate struts: 87-89 Range Rover ones are similar.
