flat4alfa Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Had this two years, spent plenty but not really used it enough Need space for the Safrane and the Princess isn't getting touched. Jumped in it this morning after weeks on not use and drove it across town, neh trouble - unlike the Safrane. 1993 Rover 420 SLi Good:Engine is the T-series NA (that pulls very well), not the kettle.IT HAS HUMP ON THE BONNETKeeps great tempNo smokeNo clutch slipGearbox changes greatNightfire RedContrasting beige dashBeige LEATHER sourced and fitted speciallyWorking windowsWorking sunroofDid I mention IT HAS HUMP ON THE BONNETOne just of 54 left on the roadNew rear calipers last year (pricey!) as it has discs all round - because 136bhp sports saloon effortBoth rear sills welded (properly and pro, not me) last year, was going to keep it forever, see'Private' NI plate fittedWitter Tow bar fittedIt's over 25 years old now. Where has time gone, eh Meh:Minor oil leaks, because T-series TADS, due to lineage relation to B-series.

Survival rate is diabolical: MOT May but it's barely done a few hundred since the last So how much for this Triumph Dolomite II / Triumph Acclaim MK3 ? £600 please, I'm mugging myself as will never find another Currently on super-cheap classic insurance Where is it?

inconsistant Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Ooh that's classy, a lot of car for the money, I bet a 2 litre in these is fun.Does Luton still smell of aviation fuel and GRP flamingoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat4alfa Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Drove young daughter to school in it again, what am I doing. Values of these are criminal. What if it was an Orion Ghia, I dread to think. It's like buying a Dolomite 1850 HL, in 2005, for bicycle money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNWeigh Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 A random please, I have fond memories of these when new. A low spec one with plastic trims was the ultimate Q-Car. To compare it with an Orion Ghia is underselling how good they were in period, BMW 325i would be more apt. And I don't really like FWD or Modern Rovers.( how old does calling an R8 modern, make me sound?) flat4alfa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Weren’t the 420 and 220 ridiculously quick for an old giffers car? I remember the diesel being sub 10 second.

The ex-everyone Rover 220 I collected from Cheezey and drove down to the Lake District to relay to catsinthewelder (that's convoluted) is really nippy, it certainly overwhelmed the ditchfinders on the front wheels even in the dry.

clayts450 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 An MGF and a 420 both come up and me, serial MG-R licker, with an empty wallet, FFS. I suppose the only consolation is it's staying in the fold so maybe I'll get a crack next time around (also posted on the MGF roffle topic) GLWTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
