Roffle Big Rover & Pork Based Sandwich - going to our very own Mr. Cavcraft/Barbara Cartland!

[purplebargeken]

It is with a fairly heavy'ish heart that I am thinking of putting the Rover 75 up for a roffle.

 

With the Olds, the Dolly, the Volvo and likely bloody Daf 44 I am strapped for cash and need to release some funds (any funds).

 

The only real way (apart from someone buying the Rover or winning on the Lotto) would be to initiate the now famous AS Roffle format.

 

I'll get some proper car details shortly but I am thinking of maybe £7 per roffle 'ticket'?

 

Any thoughts? Hopefully folk aren't all roffled out.

 

 

[DVee8]

PBK roll out the roffle.

[crapcarcollector]

I will take a couple of lucky dips if you are testing the water, but surely it should sell okay?

Not sure really, big Rovah's are funny things to sell on.

[Sealtainn]

I am still awaiting my first AS raffle win so count me in if you decide to go through with raffle shenanigins

[purplebargeken]

Okay then. I'll take some piccies tomorrow and do a proper write up.

 

Ho hum.

[Lord Sterling]

Uh oh, I reeaallly don't need a another in my life. So I may have to act like a miserable old tight wad and reduce my arm length to pocket ratio.

[Timewaster]

I shouldn't have shot my mouth off in the What would you like to see raffled? thread.

 

Tickets to be bought pending pictures and location.

[skattrd]

If I was you PBK I'd try selling it for a few days or maybe a week before going for the roffle.

Someone might be interested in buying it outright, so write and advert and see if anyone bites

[Felly Magic]

Partridge to the beige courtesy phone. 

[Partridge]

I'm looking at a 416 GTi soon and have been intefering with an XJ40 this week so better not!

[crapcarcollector]

You know what, skattrd is right, in fact I have a massive itch for one of these if it's at £7 x49 money. I'd be interested*

[JohnK]

Ken, what do you think it is it worth on the private market, sale price wise?

[hairnet]

partridge just buy all the tickets

 

cheap enuff at that

[purplebargeken]

There are tons out there John, some better than others. I am completely open as to what I paid for it...... £340. I spent about £300 on it, replacement rear lights, spare alloy, thermostat housing, thermostat, a couple of hoses, some clips and labour. Oh, and a completely recon fan and module from the Rover forum. So that is £640 getting it purchased and mechanically sorted. No hope in hell of getting that back. Such is life and such is AS. Price on the open market? Feck all. Ideally just getting the £340 back would be outstanding but unlikely.

 

It has a lovely leather interior (blue), it has working air con, cruise, it has a wooden trimmed steering wheel, auto dim rear view mirror and has satnav (needs CD and CD player cassette - all available from ebay for about 40 quid). 

 

It runs beautifully, keeps to temperature and does not have coolant loss. Auto box has sport, econ and snow settings. The brakes break nicely.

 

This car will and does shift!

 

Needs: I am no longer that fussy about a cars appearance. I live in London and if you have a nice car some twat will come along and make it not so nice. Ideally a replacement rear bumper, both rear 1/4 panels have shit paint and so does a bit of the N/S rear door. Looks like a home rattle can job. One tyre looks to have feathered tread wear to one side, thinking TRE or drop link. MOT expires early Nov 2015. Mileage is not excessive, 70 or 80 odd thou. Mirrors need replacing, I have a set in the garage. Oh, and a dent in the top of the wing on the N/S. One washer jet doesn't work, likely blocked.

 

 

If not the Rover, then maybe the Oldsmobile for roffle, that would be a fiver a ticket. 

[Cavcraft]

I'll be up for a couple of tickets, Ken!

[purplebargeken]

Ok, roffle it is then. I will take some piccies when the rain stops as I do not fancy drowning.

 

If it turns out I have won the Lotto the Roffle will be cancelled whilst I wash the cars with Krug champers after browsing Zoopla.

[the judge]

Roffle!!! Roffle!!!

[purplebargeken]

Ok, can someone please do the 1 - 49 thing as I am shit at that.

 

Is bank transfer ok for folk??

[STUNO]

Want !  I can just about afford a few tickets But postage may be a bit high so i'm out.

Edit: do you have Paypal, Ken? I think (but could be wrong) that people usually find it easier to pay using tht. Your car, your lottery your rules, though!

[purplebargeken]

I have PP too but hate it on principle, if folk want to use it then I will PM the email address

 

Thanks for doing that mate

 

Piccies shortly

Is it a deisil?

[purplebargeken]

Billy has just reminded me to ask that folks NOT mention anything about raffle/roffle or such due to the PP nazis. If the amount could be done as a 'gift' that would be very sexy and just give your username in the PP message thingy.

 

Thank you

[purplebargeken]

No, not DERV, just normal sexy petrol

[eddyramrod]

It must be time we saw some enticing snaps of this beastie, surely?  ISTR not winning the previous R75 roffle, so subject to a glimpse of it, I'm up for this one too.

[purplebargeken]

Here you go! Piccies. Bear in mind it is pissing down and I wasn't lingering

 

The rain makes the paint look super glossy. It is but it does have what look like those scratches you get when putting a car through the whirly brush car wash shite. I wash mine by hand, why would I use a scourer.

 

A mopping would make it all happy again.

 

Please excuse the rubbish thrown onto the street by twats 

 

 

The correct shape number plate comes with the car

 

 

Hard to really see the rattle can effect

 

 

or the bit on the door

 

 

The ding is quite shallow

 

 

The feathered tyre

 

 

The phwoar bits

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had to replace an indicator bulb shock horror. All the elecky bits work but the mirrors are a bit mad, I haz spares that will go with the car obv.

 

There are a few stamps in the service books but I have no other history with the car, sorry

 

Well, there you go. Sorry about the rain.
