purplebargeken Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 It is with a fairly heavy'ish heart that I am thinking of putting the Rover 75 up for a roffle. With the Olds, the Dolly, the Volvo and likely bloody Daf 44 I am strapped for cash and need to release some funds (any funds). The only real way (apart from someone buying the Rover or winning on the Lotto) would be to initiate the now famous AS Roffle format. I'll get some proper car details shortly but I am thinking of maybe £7 per roffle 'ticket'? Any thoughts? Hopefully folk aren't all roffled out.

crapcarcollector Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I will take a couple of lucky dips if you are testing the water, but surely it should sell okay? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skattrd Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 If I was you PBK I'd try selling it for a few days or maybe a week before going for the roffle.Someone might be interested in buying it outright, so write and advert and see if anyone bites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crapcarcollector Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 You know what, skattrd is right, in fact I have a massive itch for one of these if it's at £7 x49 money. I'd be interested* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Ken, what do you think it is it worth on the private market, sale price wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 There are tons out there John, some better than others. I am completely open as to what I paid for it...... £340. I spent about £300 on it, replacement rear lights, spare alloy, thermostat housing, thermostat, a couple of hoses, some clips and labour. Oh, and a completely recon fan and module from the Rover forum. So that is £640 getting it purchased and mechanically sorted. No hope in hell of getting that back. Such is life and such is AS. Price on the open market? Feck all. Ideally just getting the £340 back would be outstanding but unlikely. It has a lovely leather interior (blue), it has working air con, cruise, it has a wooden trimmed steering wheel, auto dim rear view mirror and has satnav (needs CD and CD player cassette - all available from ebay for about 40 quid). It runs beautifully, keeps to temperature and does not have coolant loss. Auto box has sport, econ and snow settings. The brakes break nicely. This car will and does shift! Needs: I am no longer that fussy about a cars appearance. I live in London and if you have a nice car some twat will come along and make it not so nice. Ideally a replacement rear bumper, both rear 1/4 panels have shit paint and so does a bit of the N/S rear door. Looks like a home rattle can job. One tyre looks to have feathered tread wear to one side, thinking TRE or drop link. MOT expires early Nov 2015. Mileage is not excessive, 70 or 80 odd thou. Mirrors need replacing, I have a set in the garage. Oh, and a dent in the top of the wing on the N/S. One washer jet doesn't work, likely blocked. If not the Rover, then maybe the Oldsmobile for roffle, that would be a fiver a ticket. Tam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Ok, roffle it is then. I will take some piccies when the rain stops as I do not fancy drowning. If it turns out I have won the Lotto the Roffle will be cancelled whilst I wash the cars with Krug champers after browsing Zoopla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Billy has just reminded me to ask that folks NOT mention anything about raffle/roffle or such due to the PP nazis. If the amount could be done as a 'gift' that would be very sexy and just give your username in the PP message thingy. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Here you go! Piccies. Bear in mind it is pissing down and I wasn't lingering The rain makes the paint look super glossy. It is but it does have what look like those scratches you get when putting a car through the whirly brush car wash shite. I wash mine by hand, why would I use a scourer. A mopping would make it all happy again. Please excuse the rubbish thrown onto the street by twats The correct shape number plate comes with the car Hard to really see the rattle can effect or the bit on the door The ding is quite shallow The feathered tyre The phwoar bits I had to replace an indicator bulb shock horror. All the elecky bits work but the mirrors are a bit mad, I haz spares that will go with the car obv. There are a few stamps in the service books but I have no other history with the car, sorry Well, there you go. Sorry about the rain.
