Rover 25 OMFGHGF Edisshun, not Austin, Not Ford, not herpes, not the clap, not that woman I met behind Aldi the other night...

Right, here we have a fine* specimin of a car here for sale. Rover 25 1.6 petrol iL Gasketmatic manual.

Short MoT (well, it's the same size as every other MoT certificate) until November 29th. The idea was to sell it without tax as I only taxed it on Monday to a tune of £126.75 for six months. Circumstances have changed and it has to go. If you want the tax, that will be extra. Car is located in Camborne in Cornwall

 

It's on eVilbay as £149 starting bid no reserve. It's on the local Farcebook pages for £350 ono without tax. Shiters discount welcome. New oil, spark plugs, fuel filter and air filter and battery two months ago. It suffered from OMGHGF before we bought it so has already had a head gasket replacement and skim done. Two new tyres on the front, one fairly recent tyre on the left hand rear and the O/S/R tyre is down to 2mm. There is also some unimportant service history bollocks with it.

 

The sunroof frame is broken and electrics inoperative. Also it was leaking so it has been sealed up with soudaflex and as you can see I've done an absolutely stunning* and fantastically professional* job. You'll also need to prepare yourself for the absolutely hideous, hateful rear lights that were on it when we bought it. Apparently, they're made by Pifco if you're after replacements.

 

It's also a bit scabby in places with rust. The MoT tester advised me last year of surface corrosion on right hand outer sill. It has been cleaned up and had more than a liberal amount of hammerite thrown at it to keep it at bay but may well require welding at MoT time. The Boot lets in a bit of water and as such I've thrown the original boot carpet out because it was minging and replaced with scraps of household carpet. Also, there is only one key and one fob - key fob could do with a new battery as it occasionally takes a few attempts to unlock. Bored and fed up of the advert yet? Good, now buy it please.

What do you mean it hasn't sold in two minutes? Fuck it, scrapping it. This place isn't what it was etc...

Sell the engine to Boll for the world's first Rover 75 1.6.

I believe 'Pifco' moved into the Lexus lights market when their share of the travel hairdryer and Christmas tree light market started to plateau. A natural progression!!

Love the sunroof.

 

Will the head gasket run out before the MOT?

[Lord Sterling]

I've actually got some rear lights for these somewhere, sadly they are aftermarket jobbies but a damned site lot more sutble than those crappy things. If someone here buys this car, I'll chuck the rear lights at them for £free.

[Parky]

That sunroof repair is quality, you can't see the join! I would be tempted not to mention it in the ad, buyers would never notice.

[Lankytim]

Corsaviour will deffo pay cash for those rear lights. He loves em!

[stilo_active]

And it's sold. Can't believe it sold so quickly to be honest

If you ever apply for a job at Cavcraft, don't bother sending a CV, just post a picture of that car with '£350, LOL' on it and you can start the previous day.
