HMC Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 This was your typical old giffers car- covered barely 22,000 miles and drives brilliantly. MOT to Jan 2018. 2 sets of keys/key fobs. The interior is in exceptional order with plush seating and even a bit of (fake?) wood on the dash- very 90s rover. The exterior is also very nice but has the odd giffer scratch and parking scrape but it doesn't detract from the overall impression of a little car that's hardly been used. The under bonnet area is practically factory fresh. The rear arches have been repaired in the past, tidily but not with the best colour match. A breather on the fuel filler has corroded and been patched up but I've got a genuine new replacement that will come with the car.

egg Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 If any trusted Kent or south east London based shiter would like to buy this I'd pop £50 in the pot in exchange for borrowing it a week or two! Can't help with shitely shenanigans though! trigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Bloke Next Door Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 One of the last made, got to be a steal at the price. If I had the room I'd buy it and the other two. Metro for local, MG when the sun shines and Rover for distance. oldcars and HMC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorniteIdentity Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 My friend had one in this hue, but it was a Kensington. He's 6'3 and looked hilarious driving it. He swapped it for his Dad's 600 before taking on a Honda equivalent. These cars are excellent value, HMC. Fair play. RobT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I contacted the British motor museum to find out the VIN of last rover 100 made ( which they have) and this is within the last 3000 which sounds a lot but puts it within the last 4 weeks production in December 1997. egg, RobT, BorniteIdentity and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'coli Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 One of the last made, got to be a steal at the price. If I had the room I'd buy it and stick an 1800cc 16v engine in it for the street sleeper look, as well as better brakes and that.EFA - also:- A solid Metro: £250. An 1800cc 16v K-series with all ancillaries, because it'll drop straight into a multipoint Metro: about £250. The look on an modern car driver's face when you crack open the throttle? Priceless.

The best thing about THIS plan is - if you crash it, you're definitely dead. No grey area, no vegetative state, no putting your relatives through the agony of turning off life support. Bin it, and you're being scraped off the tarmac. All round a great idea. oldcars, Supernaut, JayW and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
