Still can't believe your selling this dude, the car is an RT legend.

Sad to see your selling her.
If i had the cash i'd give her a new home but funds ( and just buying my first house) say no.

Whoever buys the car is in for a treat , Its stunning.
Thats 2 Tickfords now in as many weeks and mine isn't on the road yet.

Scott · Post by **Scott** » Fri Jul 04, 2008 4:58 pm

expect more pictures, and updated list of good points / bad points / history / spares to come soon.

price is negotiable lol, i did think about fixing the niggles before selling, but my heart isnt in it anymore

Couple of pics taken atop the white horse hill:

Car was rolling roaded ages ago at 216bhp / 231ftlb, and that was with the cat intact.

list of parts that are newer than expected are:

new genuine rover rad 3 years ago.
new indicator and number plates
halfrods chrome pipe trims.
front pads also done at last MOT (discs werent though)

Any offer considered, dont have time to fix the niggles (which are just the steering arms (inclduded with sale), one rusty coolant pipe, and the sagging bumper, and the sticky mirror motors), and it will only go down in value sitting on the drive...

So come on peeps, your chance to own the first turbocharged rover!

Despite everyone saying how rare they are. They're very difficult to sell in my experience.

BlueRover · Post by **BlueRover** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 8:26 pm

You've not given a reason why you're selling her. I am tempted but can't afford to run two cars and I can't get rid of Stella, it just wouldn't be right.

Scott · Post by **Scott** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 9:01 pm

im selling because i dont have space to work on the car anymore, i house share, and a 15 foot barge is a pain in the arse for all concerned, and a hedge prevents me from cleaning/fixing one side of the car.

combined with a promotion and more working hours, there just isnt time to do it justice.

quite why people dont snap them up i dont know... if it was a vitesse itd be sold now at that price?

its retro cool, thats what i tell myself, it has presence, white is coming back as a colour for new cars aswell!!!

its large, fast, cheap, what more could you want?

Scott · Post by **Scott** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 9:49 pm

Anyone interested at all?

Id rather it went to someone on here, than get messed about on ebay by some rude boys...

Post by **Din** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 9:32 pm

The mars bar offer still stands

Vard66 · Post by **Vard66** » Sat Jul 19, 2008 3:53 am

TWO!
TWO MARS BARS!
In fact, hell, if you can't sell her for what you want, Din and I will try to figure out some way of storing her between us!
Promise we won't rip the engine out to put in the 214, too.

Scott · Post by **Scott** » Sat Jul 26, 2008 12:53 pm

Well, its gone

Not sure if ill have a rover again, who knows!

daz500 · Post by **daz500** » Sat Jul 26, 2008 12:57 pm

Why no more Rovers Scott? They make for a cheap fast far. There are plenty of late model zr and zs's about that don't need much work done.

Fine big, comfy cheap to run bus, looked very respectable in the pics you put up when you got it. I felt the same going from a nice clean immaculate Celica to the 400 diesel, am well accuntomed to the 400 now though. Cheap cheap motoring.
