I can vouch for this car no end as i rebuilt and fitted the head myself, the head is in very good condition with lots of skimming life in it, as is the engine itself

I lapped all the valves in and changed all the stem seals.

It has a full klinger head set fitted with new bolts along with a gates timing belt, i flushed the cooling system and refilled with anti freeze etc and gave it a service with new oil, oil filter and plugs.

This is one truly mint car with minimal dinks and marks to bodywork and it drives great.

If i had the cash i'd definately be buying it for me

oh and the engine bay looks a lot cleaner and neater since the head was done, these are old pics so dont show it now

Air Con was removed by a previous owner, he had big plans for it but never happened.

Left the switch in as i didnt want a hole in the dash.

Thanks Gaz

All PM's replied too.

Any questions, feel free to ask. on here or via PM.

Once its MOT'd it will be going on ebay and auto trader too. Thought i put it up here first though.

simonptomcat · Post by **simonptomcat** » Mon Jan 14, 2008 10:01 am

What is it with people wanting something for nothing?

Anyway, i am looking for offers over Â£2k for it.

Hey Si, just thought I'd look in to see what you'll be selling it for as I too will be selling mine very soon and since its near enough identical wanted to check what I'd be getting.
Let me know what you end up getting mate and good luck with the sale.

I hardly ever ever post in for sale thread but that could be the best Â£2000 a Rover lover ever spends, good luck with the sale.

simonptomcat · Post by **simonptomcat** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 1:57 am

Right.... Im letting this go as it is....

Could do with new front pads and probably discs due to it not being used for a while and the rear fog light switch connected up. The wires are all there they have just been chopped.

If you want it, you can have it for Â£1600 NO OFFERS!

420gazza · Post by **420gazza** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 9:47 am

i cant believe this hasn't sold already,

for Â£1600 someones getting one hell of a beast

Tell you what im mad for letting this go for this money.

I'm sure you'll get what you want once you've put a twelve month ticket on her - unsure who'd pay the money without

dibbs007 · Post by **dibbs007** » Sat Feb 16, 2008 8:09 pm

Does it come with 12 months mot or is it been sold as it is ?? Thanks sam

gaz12 · Post by **gaz12** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 1:17 am

Could b intrested just depends on ticket,if u are not putting a 12month ticket on it whats it currently got???

simonptomcat · Post by **simonptomcat** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 1:43 am

Current MOT runs out end of this month (25th to be exact), if i get the MOT done before any sale i will want what it is really worth around the Â£2000 mark.

I simply do not have the time to even spend 5 mins on it. Therefore i dropped the price even though it is a simple bit of DIY to get it ship shape for the MOT.

simonptomcat · Post by **simonptomcat** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 3:41 pm

OK, think people are getting confused.

To clarify:

Car at present has no MOT (as of the 25th Feb)

Things needed for MOT are:

Rear Fog switch wiring in
Maybe new front discs & pads

It also has a few scratches in the laquer on the roof (not needed for MOT)

I want Â£1600 for it like this (NO OFFERS)

--------------------------------

If i get the front brakes done, rear fog switch done, full MOT put on and the scratches sorted i want:

Offers OVER Â£2k.

Hope that clears it up.

Good luck with it - I know a ticket only means it was ok on the day it was tested, but I had an interesting comment by the mot inspector when I took my car in for a re-test after it failed on emissions - told him I'd had a repair rather than a 300 quid new part and he said they (inspectors) have to be satisfied the repair will last at least 3 months before they'd pass it!! I'm unsure who'd pay out that sort of money for a motor with no mot?

shaggy · Post by **shaggy** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 7:05 pm

I'd say Â£1600 for that as is is pretty good

gaz12 · Post by **gaz12** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 7:13 pm

Looks really nice and tdy but without MOT i would not go near,make time and get a 12month ticket on it and u should sell no probs.

simonptomcat · Post by **simonptomcat** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 7:27 pm

People just want something for nothing though, everyone tells me ill easily get Â£2k with mot etc, and Â£400 off i thought was reasonable, anyway if i get time to get it done i will.
