Bobthebeard Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Due to too many cars and not enough space something needs to go...Hence this is up for sale. 1993 Rover 416 SI with 63,000 miles. Will have full MOT.Lovely condition. Has had the suspension lowered by a previous owner and rides horribly tbh, but new springs supplied! L565 TAP.Practical Classics editor Danny Hopkins amongst the previous owners, but not responsible for the lowering I must add. Really nice car with a great interior. Just a rust bleb around the base of the aerial. Good service history blah blah. Can deliver!

flat4alfa Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Worth more than that, i'm sure it sold last year for £750 didn't it. Before it was hit with the kerb-clouting stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2MB Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I know I'll be shot, but that looks far better for being lower than standard.+1 Ride quality is overrated anyway Bobthebeard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobthebeard Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Forgot to mention that the Rover has a clicky offside cv joint. As with the springs a new replacement is in the boot. As space is needed am prepared to sell for £400 as is. Still drives ok, but the cv joint does need changing.Price doesn't include delivery sadly....

Brodders Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I would also like to add that I have found the original wheel trims for this in my garage (kindly given to me by Pandamonium when I was close to getting an R8 last year), which the new owner can have for free if they want.
