If im honest i don't really want to let the coupe' go but at the minute im longing for RWD drive as i have been for a while and the sale of this will help towards the next beast. Id very much prefer this to go to a Rover enthusiast as i know there aren't many left now and wouldn't surprise me if i wanted to buy it back in the future lol
I bought the car on 27/06/2010 with 1day of Mot left lol and the Mileage on 100,230.
It's got 12months Mot & 6 months Tax
4 Good tyres 215/40/17 Front & 205/40/17 Rear
Runs sweet and don't burn oil in the slightest.

Have all receipts as far as i know and the service history is quite good and can even tell you that it sold at a rover dealer in 1999 for 10,000 quid. Think i am the 8th owner and the car currently sits on 116,000 but will change as i drive it daily. Needing attention:
Mainly bodywork tbh as most the money i have spent has been on the engine and mechanicals.
Couple of slight dents which were on the car when i had it... 1 on pass wing, 1 on pass rear 1/4 and the odd lil barely noticable marks here an there.
Rust... Has come through in usual places on the rear 1/4 / sill area and is just started to bubble on drivers rear and cant think of any more atm.
As said i do love this car and im not going to give it away and i dont want to strip the bits off it as i think every bit iv added enhances the car in the right way, power or reliability. That has been my main focus and the body work after the suspension would have been next on my to do list.
Price around £1,550 mark as iv spent that just in parts and as said struggling to bring myself to part with it lol
(Yellow top not inc.
)Car is located in West midlands.
Any Q's feel free tar,
Jay
