It looks great and from my period with the 220SLi very good cars. It would give me a suitable car for the Longbridge Rally next year.

 

So so tempted, just the usual excuses nowhere to park it, another car to insure and tax.....

[Cavcraft]

That is fab, pretty sure these like the veg, too.

 

LP, will this have a Bosch pump? Cheers.

[chaseracer]

I want an R8 before they're all gone.  However, the "look" bestowed by Domestic Management tells me this is not the one... 

[JohnK]

Just tell her you won it in a raffle.

 

Or don't tell her.

[Lacquer Peel]

That is fab, pretty sure these like the veg, too.

Lucas sadly.

[purplebargeken]

Bet that is pretty frugal.

[beko1987]

That is fucking beautiful. Never had this sort of feeling for those before!

make it so

[beko1987]

No chance sadly. One day maybe!

 

Unless your mate wants to swap for a lesser car?

[castros_bro]

Yo mon!  is that Farnborough Hants or Kent?  I am interested if it is Hants and if it is still available when I get back from this god forsaken foreign airport with no mobile phone signal.

[dieselnutjob]

Frimley, Surrey, which I guess means the Hants one.

[Dajazar]

Had one on the same L plate. Great cars and pretty bullet proof. Peugeot engines.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Very rare now

[purplebargeken]

Lots of hot Rover action on this forum nowadays which is not a bad thing.

[Six-cylinder]

Somebody buy this before Mrs Cyl sees it and I could be forced to visit Hampshire.

[beko1987]

Thats not a bad thing is it?

[JohnK]

Very tempting, but time for me to stand aside and let somebody else feel the R8 love.

shut up and gerrit bought!

[sloth]

are these the pug xud engne?

[RichardMoss]

are these the pug xud engne?

Yes

[dieselnutjob]

Yes

[2MB]

Think they're the 1769 (?) cc as found in the 205

[JohnK]

Think they're the 1769 (?) cc as found in the 205

 

They are.

[flat4alfa]

Yep, 1769 XUD7 for this intercooled turbo jobbie.  The bigger, atmospherical plugger was XUD9

 

Had two of them and got 50 mpg easy, quick too, quite unlike the XUD9 ones to drive

 

Get it bought, etc.  It's in wedding white too, for autumnal events.

[KruJoe]

These XUD's have some extra goodies not found on 205's, BX's etc., such as the front mounted inter-cooler and oil cooler.

They can be Bosch'd for vegness, (you'd need injectors too), or the 1.9 will drop right in, and you can keep the goodies

 

All the bits to fix this up nicely can be found within AS, including a door in the right colour...

[filthyjohn]

Is there a queue I can join to buy this? Don't want to tread on anyone's toes.

[KruJoe]

Send the PM and get it bought lad!

 

You're in the North-East, right? A certain white L-reg R8 breaker is also heading up your way shortly...

[castros_bro]

it's gorn and been bought yesterday and not by me as I was tooo late.

[filthyjohn]

I didn't think it'd hang around at that price. Would have made a lovely runabout while I change the engine in my 360.
