If you are, there’s a Sterling 827i sitting in the Columbia pull-a-part. 100%-intact. Full interior with trunk-mounted Sony 10-disc CD changer (with it’s own remote), engine is untouched but probably messed up somehow, 5-speed manual, sunroof, and no major rust spots.

The Sterling 827, for the man who wants an Acura Legend, but wishes the purchase of one was also a terrible, terrible idea.

1. Buy this car
2. Do an engine transplant from an old Accord.
3 ......
4. realize you can’t really profit from this and drive the car another 100k miles.

Fun fact: my dad had a Sterling 827 that was leased for him as a company car. I remember going to the dealer with him to pick it up and finding it odd that the sales office was in like a temporary trailer and not a proper full-on showroom. I was probably 5 or 6 at the time. When he left that job he had to give the car back. Then he got an Acura Legend.

Instead you could just buy an Acura Legend.

Someone had better grab these corner lenses, this might be the last Sterling in the world that still has them intact.

This used to be my unicorn; a Sterling hatchback. When it first came out, all the reviews said it was a better car to drive than its mechanical twin, the Acura Legend. In fact in ‘89, one of the major car magazines (don’t remember which one) gave it 2nd in a comparison test behind the BMW 325i. Alas, the British electrical systems were a downside. Ironically though, I sold my Sterling due to issues with the Honda transmission. The electrical system on my car was good enough.
