purplebargeken Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Well I've tried the swap thing, so here's the for sale thing. I thought it best to start afresh. Am totally unable to decide what I want car-wise, so I thought a clearing of the decks might give me some cash and head space. So here we go: Here's the car (from Wilko220's ad): http://autoshite.com...v6-low-mileage/ I've cleaned the leather which has come up lovely, fitted monogram head rests - cos I could. Fitted a replacement N/S front pillar trim and put a poxy star crack in the screen. Luckily this is outside of the prescribed MOT zone. I was going to get it done when insured. The Big Rover is in a barn in Essex. It is MOT'd until some point in late'ish December. It even has petrol in it. It starts first turn of the key and runs and drives as sweet as. It truly does. Happy to consider offers. Reasonable offers. Cheers Ken NB: Excellent quality bacon and sausage sandwich will be available for the buyer upon exchange of cash monies.

Cavcraft Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 If anyone buys this before I get the money (ergo about 2053) I'm going to personally e-kick their virtual heads in. Partridge and Fabergé Greggs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Excuse me, I have a fleet of six executive vehicles* here, only two of which are Vauxhalls. *Two of them are two wheelers, one of the others was a GM product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Folks, am looking at trying to get around 300 quid for the car or close. Not a lot of pounds for such a tidy car tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 That's ridiculous value. There will not be a better car available at that price. dugong and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugong Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Rover 75s do nothing for me (although MM5's Tourer was a good steer). That's such value even I like it. The thought of becoming one of the AROnline cru depresses me however, so I'm out on those grounds. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssDeeWon Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Cor blimey that is tempting, just dont know if I can be bothered with the 'ag of selling my E36 first or I defo would have that Rover tomorrow (and get some proper Connie crown alloys for it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Oh dear, that is very tempting. Thankfully I have no money right now and I won't for a small while. Plus I've been offered a Rover 45 1.8 which I might swap against the ZT auto Tinworm has for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I did spot that, but until I see it, or a pic of it, I'm prepared to assume that it's fixable. Also, Ken describes it as being outside the MoT zone, so not something to worry about immediately. Unless others know different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssDeeWon Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Surely something one could get sorted on the insurance if it becomes an issue? (crack in screen) For that money you may as well play cambelt roulette. Or buy it and just look at it? Any advisories to be concerned about Ken? dugong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbuffs Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Now that's my kind of barge - is it true that when you pull away at traffic lights baby seals start clubbing themselves to death in anticipation of the environmental destruction from the V6? Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 The star crack is about the size of a yoghurt pot top in the very bottom left hand corner. 75 quid via insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
