Vince70 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Since moving to Bexhill about 5 years ago I've seen this lovely metallic red rover 200 cabriolet parked up in one of the better parts of the town and have always wanted it and now it's come up for sale as I imagine the elderly driver has given up driving.The problem being I don't have the money to buy it or space so I know how everybody on here loves an early 200 so I thought I would put some pictures up which I took half hour ago. It's got a lovely beige interior and has only done 80000I really hope a Rover lover off here gets it the bodywork is fantastic condition with a small bit of lacquer peel on the back wing and the arches etc are in fantastic shape.And the hood and rear window look good as well.Mot history doesn't look bad either as it's not a rot box anonymous user, The Old Bloke Next Door, RobT and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince70 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 This car is made for mr wobbler..It's parked up just off the town centre so if anyone wanted it I wouldn't mind picking them up from the station. This car has nothing to do with me but I really want it to go too a good home as it really does deserve it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gap between "needing" and "buying" any car is one of indeterminate length...........'specially on 'ere..................

Six-cylinder Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 That looks a bargain, which engine? It does look to good to miss, vince 70 could you give it a drive for me/us? If it is any good and you want to borrow it for a bit I will buy it and tax it. I can add it to my insurance so it shows as insured but you would need your own 3rd party insurance as mine will not cover you.

My neighbours have started calling me Bexhill motors which is quite funny as that's the local independent secondhand car dealer around this way and going by the plates that's who sold the car a few years ago.The reg looks like a Kent registration so it hasn't travelled far to end up in East Sussex if you want to phone the owner up though I don't mind looking over it and giving it a quick drive around the block but I'm no mechanic but obviously I will check for the dreaded Mayo for you.But it's got to be worth having as it has a rear spoiler lol.

Never mind I can just catch a train and park it in a free lay-by near me! Cavcraft and Vince70 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 This would make a gr10 club car. Few people chip in and take turns on the few days of summer we have. 10/10 would time share. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiltox Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 My one doesn't have the spoiler - has that been added on or is it just a posh trim level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inconsistant Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Wow that's lovely, fancied a Rover Cab when I ended up with the 924 as they're so so cheap even for a good spec and low mileage, but the Mrs thought they looked terrible and didn't realise she was wrong. Surely the most underrated R8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince70 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 It looks like an autoshiter is going to have the car once he's spoken to the seller..I would say the spoiler is factory fitted as it looks like it's in a posh trim level.
