taxi paul Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Well I picked this up from cavcraft last night , my raffle prize. After my son drove it round all night and this morning. He has decided he doesn't want to sell his Peugeot and fund the cost of an MOT on this. He would rather keep his and wait for a T5. I have one already and really cant be bothered to keep this or take alternators and stuff off just in case. So good stuff. It drives really well, no rattles or smoke. All doors and panels are excellent , bonnet isn't it has a few dents on the front. Tailgate is different shade but all solid. Seats are ok ,but need a clean . Bad bits. Abs light on and airbag light on. Tried connectors for airbag today and light still on. Clutch pedal drops if you keep your foot on it , but never bothered my son. Anyway its mot'd till 16th Feb I have swapped insurance from mine to this and would leave it insured for drive it home purposes. No tax. Four good tyres inc spare. Plenums checked and dry,clear. It even has a new pollen filter so someone must of loved It once.last owner took carpet out and bits of trim so needs a scrapyard trip to sort them. It has a BMW eight cd changer in glove box and a head unit , not fitted so cant check but they look nice. So all that together I am looking for £50.00 . That is what it stands me at raffle money ,insurance and petrol. So anyone interested . It needs work it had one advisory on last mot , exhaust leaking. The car is on my drive in Huyton L36 misery side. Cavcraft is still waiting for v5 to come back so it will go in my name then we can sort that out later. Would make ideal* valentines gift. Please pm me if interested and I will get in touch. Please see rover 75 raffle thread for pics please. Thank you. rantingYoof and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen01 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Pity the seats aren't leather or I'd have it like a shot, really at 50£ you can't bloody moan! Don't reckon this will be around long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi paul Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Thanks chaps. I would rather someone on here have it than ebay it. My son loves driving it and he says it runs lovely. But he can use mine when he wants so he isn't keen on spending his own money, will spend mine though. I would rather just punt it straight on because I will in a few weeks , when my missus tells me its in the way. I haven't always lived in Huyton I emigrated here from Prescot when I remarried. I have had my inoculations so should be ok 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi paul Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Sold pending viewing. Just got to put some flags and bunting on driveway for that full dealer experience. Try and talk him into a PCP and diamond shine paintwork treatment. xtriple, oldcars, The Moog and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi paul Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Well the car has been driven off into the sunshine* by Omegod off the forum and parish. Space on the driveway to be filled by a 850 Volvo, has T5 wheels so no1 son says. I think T5's are going up in price. Probably because petrol is so cheap. So thanks for the interest in said rover .

omegod Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Cheers Paul for the full on dealer experience, the coffee and croissants were divine. Don't know what to make of the car to be honest but what an odd engine these 2.0 v6's are ! Lots of revs but slightly less forward motion than the sound promises .I'll decide its fate over the next week or so but nice to meet you and thanks for the bargain ! taxi paul and wuvvum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Croissants! In Huyton? Fuck me the place has gone up in the world Piccies of the full resto process! eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi paul Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 It was more like a sausage roll or has it is better known , a Liverpool panini. He did get the full dealer experience of me seeing wether car was still " in stock" I let him know that I have had a lot of interest and I did have to ring another buyer if he didn't want it. Car did come with drive away insurance and fuel. EssDeeWon and purplebargeken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2.0 KV6 is actually quite rare because they didn't offer anything over the 2.5. Roughly the same MPG but less power and pretty much the same running and servicing costs. Bear in mind these were never going to win many burn ups, just a comfy ride to the golf club is all that's required. taxi paul and Urko 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urko Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 When the turbo K came along, the 2.0v6 was discontinued. I think it could still be had as a special order - I have seen at least one facelift 2.0 V6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantingYoof Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Off topic slightly, but the 2.5 20v in the 850 is a bloody marvellous engine. I'd have one in a heartbeat. It'll probably be a better buy over a long term ownership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
