^ I know that the price of firewood has gone up a bit, thanks to all the people going back to wood-burners, but £5995 does seem a bit steep for that woodpile.

This dreamer's advertising four Rover 800s for a total of £14,000 with utterly shite ads. Deranged does not even begin to cover it...

Funnily enough, I had spoken to this seller a few years ago, his name was Simon if I recall correctly. I was warned though that he was a bit of an annoying nutter, albeit a well-spoken one. He had a D-reg Mk1 825i that I would have loved to have bought but there was some minor damage to the front.

 

He states that it's an early reg mk1. Looks like a later face lift one to me with the bigger bumpers. IIRC they turned up a couple of years after the original. I'll bow to Lord Sterlings expertise on this one though- I could be totally wrong!

I think most non-Rover types lump all the pre-chrome grille cars into one 'MK1' tag, but as you say LS will keep us right if he sees this.

Burraston is right. The seller, who should know his Rovers having owned a fair few of them has wrongly stated it to be an early reg'd Mk1, it is in fact a late reg'd Mk1 being a 1991 car.

iirc the last mk1s got the left over federal bumpers when they bombed in americaland

If that Mitsubishi GTO is as solid as it looks then it's actually not all that much over the odds IMO. Maybe £4 to 4.5k would be more realistic based on what something like this would fetch in nice shape and what it would cost to get it there. It is MEGA rare and very desirable. Not much chance in ever buying another here.

Fair play it looks nice but he must be certified to think it's worth £5,000

'The car will be sold without a road fund licence, if you need the vehicle taxing we can do this at the purchasers cost plus an administration charge... we are selling the car sold as seen with no warranties offered or implied'

 

'you will know they are impossible to find and even harder to purchase'

 

Some typo that, never seen 'sell' spelt like that before.

Pay for the tax and an administration charge?

 

"We have to enter a 16 digit number onto a screen, and click next a couple of times"

 

Cheeky sods. I am surprised they don't want to charge an additional 500 quid for the two weeks it sat on their lot, or a couple of quid for putting air in the tyres. I bet it's got no fuel in it either.........

"Please note we require a communications administration payment. When you come to collect the car we will only communicate verbally for a payment of £27.50 per sentence (shrugs and nods are £5.75 each)"

@ That white 820

 

 

serious purchasers only please

 

He'll be lucky to get any at £5000.

I've seen that before and was sure it was 'only' £3,500 or so a couple of days ago.

 

Barmy.

That Sprinter is minging, they can be a very expensive thing to keep too.

If you buy one that needs brakes all round, handbrake cables and tyres.

The handbrake design on these is seriously flawed, they have a poxy little set of brake shoes inside the discs that always gets destroyed

by drivers pulling them on while moving, the cables stretch badly too meaning they run out of travel on the ratchet quickly.

 

Quite, good for fleets/nearly new no doubt but I would not have another older one.

I would think that shagged 300,000+ miler would still break easily, seems odd to try and flog it.

Worlds gone mad

what is it with some peoples.

 

Take one pair of 40 year old strommies.

 

Rattle can them silver

 

Advertise them as "in excellent condition" and photograph them with all the over spray in the background.

 

Then slap them on the bay at 10 times what they are now worth because you rattle canned them.

Yet for some reason I'd like to meet the seller,as I think he (she?) would be really interesting , wouldn't make me want to pay £5k for an old Shad with a weeks MOT and the aircon ripped out though.

that roller looks bloody great to me for £4800, it looks totally immaculate!!!!! The guy does sound like a mental though.

 

 

....clearing the drain holes in the bodywork; I have been a fastidious adherant to this as advised in technical seminars at the RREC and in their journal

Could some of these be some sort of money laundering exercise? "yeah I got that 10k in cash by selling that classic Montego innit officer"

Thought that Rover looked familiar, I spotted it a couple of years ago:

It did look rather nice but the guy's a total fruitcake to think it's worth 5 large with no tax.

vehicle hasn't been used since 2001.

 

 

This is definitely a project car and will need extensive work to get it to run properly

 

 

£2,200 BiN

 

 

Message to seller, "could I buy some pot from you?"

 

What a fruit loop

The 205 I was hoping to scoop up for breaking didn't come through, and it would appear the owner is not on this planet in terms of value;

This is a car that has a knackered starter, knackered ign. barrel and a dent in every single panel. Oh and whilst we are on the bodywork, it needs the boot floor reattaching, both rear wheel arches, a right hand sill, both front suspension arms, oh and a rear axle! £950? I reckon he's dropped a decimal point somewhere!

Posted

This may be a real, or not so real, bargain. However there are so many things to like....

 

A car that has had the same owner since 1951;

That the owner was a lucky 19 year old lad when he got it;

It has an awesomely shite period hardtop;

And that he's not some foggy old duffer now, that he knows what it's worth and some sheepskin wearing car dealer can't rob it off him to make a killing on ebay.

That Jag makes me sad wondering why the guy is having to sell it - it must have so many memories. Even if he's given up driving he must have fallen on hard times to need the cash.

 

If I was hideously wealthy I'd buy it and then give it back to him.

 

Maybe I'm just a softie...
