Hmmm, I'm kind of alright with the TWR bodykit wheels; they are at least model appropriate. I'm not at all happy about the colour-coding and deletion of the rubbing strips, though. Doesn't look terrible, but I can't imagine an "enthusiast" paying well over the odds for something that's been quite so plainly dicked about with.

Just did an MOT history search- It’s an 827 not a Sterling , which explains the plain exterior and possibly those wheels .I remember fleet operators being offered those rims, a Vitesse spoiler or a tow bar (!) F.O.C on basic 800s in 90/91. The company I worked at had about 4 820s with those 16” TWRs.

The MOT history is interesting a ten year gap then a massive fail in 2019 - Lots of rot, even mentions rear suspension about to fall out! 
Makes it seem even more of a bargain.

Yeah, you're right, I'm pretty sure the Sterling and Vitesse didn't have the big gaping hole beneath the stereo; they would have had a Sierra Ghia-style door-open indicator diagram thingy. At least the earlier ones did; I know some strange spec realignments went on on the cusp of Mk2 production. In fact, I wasn't even sure if that digital climate control setup made it into the Mk1s, but I suppose it must have done.

Starting to think it might be a bit of a shed, TBH. Problem is, if it's been a shed, there's a fair chance it might revert to its old habits.

What's this worth, £2,000 on a good day?

Even the doctor would struggle getting 9K for that.

Yep, if it’s as nice as it looks, 2k. It’s only a 1.6 carb’d BX at the end of the day. I also know who the previous or 2 owners were. It’ sold to one of them for 800 quid.
The trader seems to think it’s a DS or SM or something.

I seem to remember that one is usually on the forecourt, posed on those ramps they use for 4x4s. Since it's a car showroom, they'd probably try to sell me something rather than call the police.

That would wait until they found out I had no money...  ?

Anyone above a certain age and an interest in BRC will probably remember the Simmonite sisters competing in (I think) Class 2, as it was back in the late 80s-early-90s?

Their family's Land Rover dealership is quite well known, I believe.

 

There are also rumours of a... house of ill repute located in the immediate vicinity, but that's a story for another day...

Could we have a review please, trip advisor style, I'm sure you know the type of thing. And no I don't mean of the Land Rover, I already know how ropey and expensive they are to spend any time with

No warranty on that BX apparently so if you decide to drive it home you're on your own.

It might be a sensible price for all I know. What do you think? Seller wants £4,750.

It's worth that to the right person. The car is the dictionary definition of mint condition and I'd imagine the owner wants it to go to someone who will also really look after it. 

Will it sell for that price? It'll take time, but I reckon it will eventually.

I think what would really set it off is the "130Y" badge that was applied to Malaysian-market cars.
